Package: sudo
Version: 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.4
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream security
Justification: root security hole

Hi,

Apparently a security has been disclosed (CVE-2015-5602) allowing users
to open files with sudoedit that is not supposed to using a symlinks,
see: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/37710/

Upstream has released a new fixed version by no following the symlinks
by default.

But according to this comment[0], this is not fixing the issue
completely.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
