Tavis Ormandy discovered that sudo does not perform sufficient environment cleaning; in particular the SHELLOPTS and PS4 variables are still passed to the program running as an alternate user which can result in the execution of arbitrary commands as the alternate user when a bash script is executed.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
