-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-112b333bdf 2016-11-11 17:07:42.816592 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : sudo Product : Fedora 24 Version : 1.8.18p1 Release : 1.fc24 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 1.8.18p1 - fixes CVE-2016-7076 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1384982 - CVE-2016-7076 sudo: noexec bypass via wordexp() https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1384982 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
