Re: race condition checking digests/checksums in sudoers

If a command name is prefixed with a Digest_Spec, the command will
only match successfully if it can be verified using the specified
SHA-2 digest. This may be useful in situations where the user invoking
sudo has write access to the command or its parent directory.

This results in a race condition if the digest functionality is used
as suggested (in fact, the rules are matched before the user is
prompted for a password, so you have quite some time to replace the
binary from underneath sudo).

Use CVE-2015-8239.
