-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-18132 2013-10-02 05:14:42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : sudo Product : Fedora 20 Version : 1.8.8 Release : 1.fc20 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 1.8.8 - major changes & fixes: - LDAP SASL support now works properly with Kerberos - root may no longer change its SELinux role without entering a password - user messages are now always displayed in the user's locale, even when the same message is being logged or mailed in a different locale. - log files created by sudo now explicitly have the group set to group ID 0 rather than relying on BSD group semantics - sudo now stores its libexec files in a sudo subdirectory instead of in libexec itself - system_group and group_file sudoers group provider plugins are now installed by default - the paths to ldap.conf and ldap.secret may now be specified as arguments to the sudoers plugin in the sudo.conf file - ...and many new features and settings. See the upstream ChangeLog for the full list. - several sssd support fixes - added patch to make uid/gid specification parsing more strict (don't accept an invalid number as uid/gid) - use the _pkgdocdir macro (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs) - fixed several bugs found by the clang static analyzer - added %post dependency on chmod -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #979518 - sudo spec file does not contain requires(post) entry for used chmod command https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979518 [ 2 ] Bug #994113 - sudo possibly affected by F-20 unversioned docdir change https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994113 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
