Summary
A flaw in exists in sudo's -u option (aka sudoedit) in sudo version 1.6.8 that can give an attacker read permission to a file that would otherwise be unreadable.
Sudo versions affected
1.6.8 only
Details
While sudoedit runs the actual editor as the invoking user, the temporary file is then re-opened with root privileges. An attacker can run sudoedit, remove the editor temporary file, make a link to an unreadable file with the same name as the old temporary file and quit the editor. The file being edited via sudoedit will now contain a copy of the previously unreadable file.
Impact
Exploitation of the bug requires that the sudoers file be configured to allow the attacker to run sudoedit. If no users have been granted access to sudoedit there is no impact.
Fix
The bug is fixed in sudo 1.6.8p1.

How do I use this code ?
To exploit sudoedit you have to open with it the
file "rosiello" as shown in the example.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO:
1) Open two shells (i) and (ii);
2) (i)$sudoedit rosiello;
3) (ii)$./sudoedit-exploit /etc/shadow;
4) (i) close sudoedit.
The file "rosiello" is now a copy of "/etc/shadow".
