Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.9.15p5, Package name: sudo-1.9.15p5, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to
give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their
work done.

security/sudo: update to 1.9.15p5

1.9.15p3 (2023-12-13)

 * Always disable core dumps when sudo sends itself a fatal signal.
   Fixes a problem where sudo could potentially dump core dump when
   it re-sends the fatal signal to itself.  This is only an issue
   if the command received a signal that would normally result in
   a core dump but the command did not actually dump core.

 * Fixed a bug matching a command with a relative path name when
   the sudoers rule uses shell globbing rules for the path name.
   Bug #1062.

 * Permit visudo to be run even if the local host name is not set.
   GitHub issue #332.

 * Fixed an editing error introduced in sudo 1.9.15 that could
   prevent sudoreplay from replaying sessions correctly.
   GitHub issue #334.

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 where "sudo -l > /dev/null"
   could hang on Linux systems.  GitHub issue #335.

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 where Solaris privileges
   specified in sudoers were not applied to the command being run.

1.9.15p4 (2023-12-15)

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 that could prevent a user's
   privileges from being listed by "sudo -l" if the sudoers entry
   in /etc/nsswitch.conf contains "[SUCCESS=return]".  This did not
   affect the ability to run commands via sudo.  Bug #1063.

1.9.15p5 (2023-12-30)

 * Fixed evaluation of the "lecture", "listpw", \ 
"verifypw", and
   "fdexec" sudoers Defaults settings when used without an explicit
   value.  Previously, if specified without a value they were
   evaluated as boolean "false", even when the negation operator
   ('!') was not present.

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.14 that prevented LDAP
   netgroup queries using the NETGROUP_BASE setting from being
   performed.

 * Sudo will now transparently rename a user's lecture file from
   the older name-based path to the newer user-ID-based path.
   GitHub issue #342.

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 that could cause a memory
   allocation failure if sysconf(_SC_LOGIN_NAME_MAX) fails.  Bug #1066.

What's new in Sudo 1.9.15p2

 * Fixed a bug on BSD systems where sudo would not restore the
   terminal settings on exit if the terminal had parity enabled.

Log message:
sudo: updated to 1.9.15p1

What's new in Sudo 1.9.15p1

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.15 that prevented LDAP-based
   sudoers from being able to read the ldap.conf file.

What's new in Sudo 1.9.15

 * Fixed an undefined symbol problem on older versions of macOS
   when "intercept" or "log_subcmds" are enabled in sudoers.

 * Fixed "make check" failure related to getpwent(3) wrapping
   on NetBSD.

 * Fixed the warning message for "sudo -l command" when the command
   is not permitted.  There was a missing space between "list" and
   the actual command due to changes in sudo 1.9.14.

 * Fixed a bug where output could go to the wrong terminal if
   "use_pty" is enabled (the default) and the standard input, output
   or error is redirected to a different terminal.

 * The visudo utility will no longer create an empty file when the
   specified sudoers file does not exist and the user exits the
   editor without making any changes.

 * The AIX and Solaris sudo packages on www.sudo.ws now support
   "log_subcmds" and "intercept" with both 32-bit and 64-bit
   binaries.  Previously, they only worked when running binaries
   with the same word size as the sudo binary.

 * The sudoers source is now logged in the JSON event log.  This
   makes it possible to tell which rule resulted in a match.

 * Running "sudo -ll command" now produces verbose output that
   includes matching rule as well as the path to the sudoers file
   the matching rule came from.  For LDAP sudoers, the name of the
   matching sudoRole is printed instead.

 * The embedded copy of zlib has been updated to version 1.3.

 * The sudoers plugin has been modified to make it more resilient
   to ROWHAMMER attacks on authentication and policy matching.
   This addresses CVE-2023-42465.

 * The sudoers plugin now constructs the user time stamp file path
   name using the user-ID instead of the user name.  This avoids a
   potential problem with user names that contain a path separator
   ('/') being interpreted as part of the path name.  A similar
   issue in sudo-rs has been assigned CVE-2023-42456.

 * A path separator ('/') in a user, group or host name is now
   replaced with an underbar character ('_') when expanding escapes
   in @include and @includedir directives as well as the "iolog_file"
   and "iolog_dir" sudoers Default settings.

 * The "intercept_verify" sudoers option is now only applied when
   the "intercept" option is set in sudoers.  Previously, it was
   also applied when "log_subcmds" was enabled.  Sudo 1.9.14
   contained an incorrect fix for this.

 * Changes to terminal settings are now performed atomically, where
   possible.  If the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal and
   the user's terminal is already in raw mode, sudo will not change
   the user's terminal settings.  This prevents concurrent sudo
   processes from restoring the terminal settings to the wrong values.

 * Reverted a change from sudo 1.9.4 that resulted in PAM session
   modules being called with the environment of the command to be
   run instead of the environment of the invoking user.

 * New Indonesian translation from translationproject.org.

 * The sudo_logsrvd server will now raise its open file descriptor
   limit to the maximum allowed value when it starts up.  Each
   connection can require up to nine open file descriptors so the
   default soft limit may be too low.

 * Better log message when rejecting a command if the "intercept"
   option is enabled and the "intercept_allow_setid" option is
   disabled.  Previously, "command not allowed" would be logged and
   the user had no way of knowing what the actual problem was.

 * Sudo will now log the invoking user's environment as "submitenv"
   in the JSON logs.  The command's environment ("runenv") is no
   longer logged for commands rejected by the sudoers file or an
   approval plugin.

Log message:
security/sudo: update to 1.9.14p3

What's new in Sudo 1.9.14p3

 * Fixed a crash with Python 3.12 when the sudo Python python is
   unloaded.  This only affects "make check" for the Python plugin.
 * Adapted the sudo Python plugin test output to match Python 3.12.

What's new in Sudo 1.9.14p2

 * Fixed a crash on Linux systems introduced in version 1.9.14 when
   running a command with a NULL argv[0] if "log_subcmds" or
   "intercept" is enabled in sudoers.
 * Fixed a problem with "stair-stepped" output when piping or
   redirecting the output of a sudo command that takes user input.
 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.14 that affects matching
   sudoers rules containing a Runas_Spec with an empty Runas user.
   These rules should only match when sudo's -g option is used but
   were matching even without the -g option.  GitHub issue #290.

What's new in Sudo 1.9.14p1

 * Fixed an invalid free bug in sudo_logsrvd that was introduced
   in version 1.9.14 which could cause sudo_logsrvd to crash.
 * The sudoers plugin no longer tries to send the terminal name
   to the log server when no terminal is present.  This bug was
   introduced in version 1.9.14.

What's new in Sudo 1.9.14

 * Fixed a bug where if the "intercept" or "log_subcmds" sudoers
   option was enabled and a sub-command was run where the first
   entry of the argument vector didn't match the command being run.
   This resulted in commands like "sudo su -" being killed due to
   the mismatch.  Bug #1050.
 * The sudoers plugin now canonicalizes command path names before
   matching (where possible).  This fixes a bug where sudo could
   execute the wrong path if there are multiple symbolic links with
   the same target and the same base name in sudoers that a user is
   allowed to run.  GitHub issue #228.
 * Improved command matching when a chroot is specified in sudoers.
   The sudoers plugin will now change the root directory id needed
   before performing command matching.  Previously, the root directory
   was simply prepended to the path that was being processed.
 * When NETGROUP_BASE is set in the ldap.conf file, sudo will now
   perform its own netgroup lookups of the host name instead of
   using the system innetgr(3) function.  This guarantees that user
   and host netgroup lookups are performed using  the same LDAP
   server (or servers).
 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.13 that resulted in a missing
   " ; " separator between environment variables and the command
   in log entries.
 * The visudo utility now displays a warning when it ignores a file
   in an include dir such as /etc/sudoers.d.
 * When running a command in a pseudo-terminal, sudo will initialize
   the terminal settings even if it is the background process.
   Previously, sudo only initialized the pseudo-terminal when running
   in the foreground.  This fixes an issue where a program that
   checks the window size would read the wrong value when sudo was
   running in the background.
 * Fixed a bug where only the first two digits of the TSID field
   being was logged.  Bug #1046.
 * The "use_pty" sudoers option is now enabled by default.  To
   restore the historic behavior where a command is run in the
   user's terminal, add "Defaults !use_pty" to the sudoers file.
   GitHub issue #258.
 * Sudo's "-b" option now works when the command is run in a
   pseudo-terminal.
 * When disabling core dumps, sudo now only modifies the soft limit
   and leaves the hard limit as-is.  This avoids problems on Linux
   when sudo does not have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, which may be the case
   when run inside a container.  GitHub issue #42.
 * Sudo configuration file paths have been converted to colon-separated
   lists of paths.  This makes it possible to have configuration
   files on a read-only file system while still allowing for local
   modifications in a different (writable) directory.  The new
   --enable-adminconf configure option can be used to specify a
   directory that is searched for configuration files in preference
   to the sysconfdir (which is usually /etc).
 * The "intercept_verify" sudoers option is now only applied when
   the "intercept" option is set in sudoers.  Previously, it was
   also applied when "log_subcmds" was enabled.
 * The NETGROUP_QUERY ldap.conf parameter can now be disabled for
   LDAP servers that do not support querying the nisNetgroup object
   by its nisNetgroupTriple attribute, while still allowing sudo to
   query the LDAP server directly to determine netgroup membership.
 * Fixed a long-standing bug where a sudoers rule without an explicit
   runas list allowed the user to run a command as root and any
   group instead of just one of the groups that root is a member
   of.  For example, a rule such as "myuser ALL = ALL" would permit
   "sudo -u root -g othergroup" even if root did not belong to
   "othergroup".
 * Fixed a bug where a sudoers rule with an explicit runas list
   allowed a user to run sudo commands as themselves.  For example,
   a rule such as "myuser ALL = (root) ALL", "myuser" should only
   allow commands to be run as root (optionally using one of root's
   groups).  However, the rule also allowed the user to run
   "sudo -u myuser -g myuser command".
 * Fixed a bug that prevented the user from specifying a group on
   the command line via "sudo -g" if the rule's Runas_Spec contained
   a Runas_Alias.
 * Sudo now requires a C compiler that conforms to ISO C99 or higher
   to build.

Major changes between sudo 1.9.13p3 and 1.9.13p2:

 * Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.13 that caused a syntax error
   when "list" was used as a user or host name.  GitHub issue #246.

 * Fixed a bug that could cause sudo to hang when running a command
   in a pseudo-terminal when there is still input buffered after a
   command has exited.

 * Fixed "sudo -U otheruser -l command".  This is a regression in
   sudo 1.9.13.  GitHub issue #248.

 * Fixed "sudo -l command args" when matching a command in sudoers
   with command line arguments.  This is a regression in sudo 1.9.13.
   GitHub issue #249.
