Name : sudo Product : Fedora 13 Version : 1.7.4p4 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 - sudo now uses /var/db/sudo for timestamps - new command available: sudoreplay - use native audit support - corrected license field value: BSD -> ISC - added env_keep += HOME (see rhbz#614025) for backwards compatibility - added Defaults !visiblepw - fixes CVE-2010-2956 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 8 2010 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> - 1.7.4p4-1 - update to new upstream version - sudo now uses /var/db/sudo for timestamps - new command available: sudoreplay - use native audit support - corrected license field value: BSD -> ISC - added env_keep += HOME (see rhbz#614025) for backwards compatibility - added Defaults !visiblepw * Wed Jun 2 2010 Daniel Kopecek <[email protected]> - 1.7.2p6-2 - added patch that fixes insufficient environment sanitization issue (#598154) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #628628 - CVE-2010-2956 sudo: incorrect handling of RunAs specification with both user and group lists https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628628 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
