-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-6701 2010-04-16 23:16:10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : sudo Product : Fedora 12 Version : 1.7.2p6 Release : 1.fc12 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Apr 14 2010 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.7.2p6-1 - update to new upstream version - merged .audit and .libaudit patch - added sudoers.ldap.5* to files * Mon Mar 1 2010 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.7.2p5-1 - update to new upstream version * Tue Feb 16 2010 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.7.2p2-4 - fixed no valid sudoers sources found (#558875) - audit related Makefile.in and configure.in corrections - added --with-audit configure option - removed call to libtoolize * Wed Feb 10 2010 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.7.2p2-3 - fixed segfault when #include directive is used in cycles (#561336) * Wed Feb 10 2010 Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi> - 1.7.2p2-3 - Add /etc/sudoers.d dir and use it in default config (#551470). - Drop *.pod man page duplicates from docs. * Thu Jan 7 2010 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.7.2p2-2 - commented out unused aliases in sudoers to make visudo happy (#550239) * Thu Jan 7 2010 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.7.2p2-1 - new upstream version 1.7.2p2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
