      to enable corporations to quickly and cost-effectively build a complete

    OVERVIEW
    - --------
      There is a heap corruption vulnerability in sudo which may allow an
      attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
    
      Please note that this is the same vulnerability addressed in
      ESA-20020429-010.  Due to an error, this bug was never fixed in later
      EnGarde versions.
    
      The impact of this vulnerability is minimal, as only trusted users
      are permitted to access the sudo binary.
    
      Guardian Digital products affected by this issue include:

      It is recommended that all users apply this update as soon as possible.
