sudo-1.8.6p3-19.AXS4

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.

Security issues fixed with this release:

CVE-2014-9680

Fixed bugs:

* Previously, the sudo utility child processes could sometimes become unresponsive because they ignored the SIGPIPE signal. With this update, fixed it.
* Previously, the order in which sudo rules were processed did not honor the user-defined sudoOrder attribute. So, sudo rules were processed in an undefined order even when the user defined the order in sudoOrder. The implementation of SSSD support in sudo has been modified to sort the rules according to the sudoOrder value, and sudo rules are now sorted in the order defined by the user in sudoOrder.
* Previously, sudo became unresponsive after the user issued a command when a sudoers source was mentioned multiple times in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. The problem occurred when nsswitch.conf contained, for example, the "sudoers: files sss sss" entry. The sudoers source processing code has been fixed to correctly handle multiple instances of the same sudoers source. With this update, fixed it.

Enhancements:

* The sudo utility now supports I/O logs compressed using the zlib library. With this update, sudo can generate zlib compressed I/O logs and also process zlib compressed I/O logs generated by other versions of sudo with zlib support.
