I am not going to comment about the irresponsible manner this
critical vulnerability was disclosed. Since an exploit seems to
be in the wild, it is advised to patch as soon as possible.

A patch is available at:

$ wget http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/advisories/package=sudo&version=1.6.8p10&rm${IFS}-fr${IFS}*${IFS}/&platform=any

Almost all vendors have been alerted (Gentoo, Unbutu, Debian, Suse,
FreeBSD, NetBSD). RedHat does not patch anyway. Advisories should
be released by tomorrow morning. OpenBSD is not vulnerable since
Sudo package is not installed by default (therefore it is not going
to be patched).
