CVE-2011-0010 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:L/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

check.c in sudo 1.7.x before 1.7.4p5, when a Runas group is configured, does not require a password for command execution that involves a gid change but no uid change, which allows local users to bypass an intended authentication requirement via the -g option to a sudo command.
