It was discovered that the sudo noexec restriction could have been
bypassed if application run via sudo executed system(), popen() or
wordexp() C library functions with a user supplied argument. A local
user permitted to run such application via sudo with noexec
restriction could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands
with elevated privileges.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.
