Description: 
 sudo       - Provide limited super user privileges to specific users
Changes: 
 sudo (1.6.8p5-1ubuntu3) breezy; urgency=low
 .
   * SECURITY UPDATE: Fix privilege escalation.
   * sudo.c, parse.yacc: safe_cmd contains the actually executed program which
     is normally taken from /etc/sudoers. However, if sudoers contains "ALL"
     entries that follow the matching entry, safe_cmd was overwritten with the
     path the user specified on the command line, which opens up the
     possibility of executing arbitrary commands by generating symlinks to
     them.
