Name : sudo Product : Fedora 13 Version : 1.7.2p6 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 - merged .audit and .libaudit patch - added sudoers.ldap.5* to files - http://sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/sudoedit_escalate2.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #580441 - sudo: incomplete fix for the sudoedit privilege escalation issue CVE-2010-0426 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580441 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
