-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-3415 2010-03-03 01:37:08 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sudo Product : Fedora 11 Version : 1.7.2p5 Release : 1.fc11 URL : http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ Summary : Allows restricted root access for specified users Description : Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - update to new upstream version - backported changes from F-12 - fixes CVE-2010-0426 sudo: sudoedit option can possibly allow for arbitrary code execution [Fedora all] (#567676) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Mar 1 2010 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> 1.7.2p5-1 - update to new upstream version - backport changes from F-12 * Thu Jul 9 2009 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> 1.7.1-4 - moved the closefrom() call before audit_help_open() (sudo-1.7.1-auditfix.patch) * Wed Jul 8 2009 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> 1.7.1-3 - epoch number sync * Mon Jun 22 2009 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> 1.7.1-2 - fixed small bug in configure.in (sudo-1.7.1-conffix.patch) - sudo-1.7.1-audit.patch rediff because of missing code * Tue May 12 2009 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> 1.7.1-1 - updated sudo to version 1.7.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #567337 - CVE-2010-0426 sudo: sudoedit option can possibly allow for arbitrary code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567337 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
