Description:
  The version of sudo shipped in Immunix OS 7.0-beta and 7.0 contains a
  buffer overflow of a variable that is on the heap (which StackGuard
  does not protect against.)  This problem was originally reported by
  Chris Wilson (see http://www.courtesan.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27
  for his original bug report.) The 1.6.3p6 version of sudo was released
  to fix this problem.
  
  Packages have been created and released that fix this problem.
