NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sudo-python-plugin package and not the sudo-python-plugin package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Sudo through 1.9.17p2 before 3e474c2, a failure of a setuid, setgid, or setgroups call, during a privilege drop before running the mailer, is not a fatal error and can lead to privilege escalation.
