Subject: Re: race condition checking digests/checksums in sudoers

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

>> http://www.sudo.ws/man/1.8.15/sudoers.man.html

>> If a command name is prefixed with a Digest_Spec, the command will
>> only match successfully if it can be verified using the specified
>> SHA-2 digest. This may be useful in situations where the user invoking
>> sudo has write access to the command or its parent directory.

> This results in a race condition if the digest functionality is used
> as suggested (in fact, the rules are matched before the user is
> prompted for a password, so you have quite some time to replace the
> binary from underneath sudo).

Use CVE-2015-8239.
