Branch: pkgsrc-2014Q4, Version: 1.7.10p9, Package name: sudo-1.7.10p9, Maintainer: kim

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.

   Log message:
   update of sudo to the next upstream patch version (1.7.10p8 to 1.7.10p9)

   Upstream Changelog:

   +   The TZ environment variable is now checked for safety instead of
       simply being copied to the environment of the command.
       This fixes a potential security issue.

   +   Sudo now only builds Position Independent Executables (PIE) by
       default on Linux systems and verifies that a trivial test program
       builds and runs.

   +   On Solaris 11.1 and higher, sudo binaries will now have the ASLR tag
       enabled if supported by the linker.
