-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-3352 2010-03-03 01:35:28 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sudo Product : Fedora 13 Version : 1.7.2p5 Release : 1.fc13 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 - fixes CVE-2010-0426 sudo: sudoedit option can possibly allow for arbitrary code execution [Fedora all] (#567676) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
