What's new in Sudo 1.8.10p3? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed expansion of %p in the prompt for "sudo -l" when rootpw, |
| |
runaspw or targetpw is set. Bug #639 |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed matching of uids and gids which was broken in version 1.8.9. |
| |
Bug #640 |
| |
|
| |
* PAM credential initialization has been re-enabled. It was |
| |
unintentionally disabled by default in version 1.8.8. The way |
| |
credentials are initialized has also been fixed. Bug #642. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a descriptor leak on Linux when determing boot time. Sudo |
| |
normally closes extra descriptors before running a command so |
| |
the impact is limited. Bug #645 |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed flushing of the last buffer of data when I/O logging is |
| |
enabled. This bug, introduced in version 1.8.9, could cause |
| |
incomplete command output on some systems. Bug #646 |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.10p2? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a hang introduced in sudo 1.8.10 when timestamp_timeout |
| |
is set to zero. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.10p1? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.8.10 that prevented the disabling |
| |
of tty-based tickets. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug with netgated commands in "sudo -l command" that |
| |
could cause the command to be listed even when it was explicitly |
| |
denied. This only affected list mode when a command was specified. |
| |
Bug #636 |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.10? |
| |
|
| |
* It is now possible to disable network interface probing in |
| |
sudo.conf by changing the value of the probe_interfaces |
| |
setting. |
| |
|
| |
* When listing a user's privileges (sudo -l), the sudoers plugin |
| |
will now prompt for the user's password even if the targetpw, |
| |
rootpw or runaspw options are set. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoers plugin uses a new format for its time stamp files. |
| |
Each user now has a single file which may contain multiple records |
| |
when per-tty time stamps are in use (the default). The time |
| |
stamps use a monotonic timer where available and are once again |
| |
located in a directory under /var/run. The lecture status is |
| |
now stored separately from the time stamps in a different directory. |
| |
Bug #616 |
| |
|
| |
* sudo's -K option will now remove all of the user's time stamps, |
| |
not just the time stamp for the current terminal. The -k option |
| |
can be used to only disable time stamps for the current terminal. |
| |
|
| |
* If sudo was started in the background and needed to prompt for |
| |
a password, it was not possible to suspend it at the password |
| |
prompt. This now works properly. |
| |
|
| |
* LDAP-based sudoers now uses a default search filter of |
| |
(objectClass=sudoRole) for more efficient queries. The netgroup |
| |
query has been modified to avoid falling below the minimum length |
| |
for OpenLDAP substring indices. |
| |
|
| |
* The new "use_netgroups" sudoers option can be used to explicitly |
| |
enable or disable netgroups support. For LDAP-based sudoers, |
| |
netgroup support requires an expensive substring match on the |
| |
server. If netgroups are not needed, this option can be disabled |
| |
to reduce the load on the LDAP server. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo is once again able to open the sudoers file when the group |
| |
on sudoers doesn't match the expected value, so long as the file |
| |
is not group writable. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now installs an init.d script to clear the time stamp |
| |
directory at boot time on AIX and HP-UX systems. These systems |
| |
either lack /var/run or do not clear it on boot. |
| |
|
| |
* The JSON format used by "visudo -x" now properly supports the |
| |
negation operator. In addition, the Options object is now the |
| |
same for both Defaults and Cmnd_Specs. |
| |
|
| |
* Czech and Serbian translations for sudoers from translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
* Catalan translation for sudo from translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.9p5? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a compilation error on AIX when LDAP support is enabled. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed parsing of the "umask" defaults setting in sudoers. Bug #632. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a failed assertion when the "closefrom_override" defaults |
| |
setting is enabled in sudoers and sudo's -C flag is used. Bug #633. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.9p4? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug where sudo could consume large amounts of CPU while |
| |
the command was running when I/O logging is not enabled. Bug #631 |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug where sudo would exit with an error when the debug |
| |
level is set to util@debug or all@debug and I/O logging is not |
| |
enabled. The command would continue runnning after sudo exited. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.9p3? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.8.9 that prevented the tty name |
| |
from being resolved properly on Linux systems. Bug #630. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.9p2? |
| |
|
| |
* Updated config.guess, config.sub and libtool to support the ppc64le |
| |
architecture (IBM PowerPC Little Endian). |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.9p1? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a problem with gcc 4.8's handling of bit fields that could |
| |
lead to the noexec flag being enabled even when it was not |
| |
explicitly set. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.9? |
| |
|
| |
* Reworked sudo's main event loop to use a simple event subsystem |
| |
using poll(2) or select(2) as the back end. |
| |
|
| |
* It is now possible to statically compile the sudoers plugin into |
| |
the sudo binary without disabling shared library support. The |
| |
sudo.conf file may still be used to configure other plugins. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo can now be compiled again with a C preprocessor that does |
| |
not support variadic macros. |
| |
|
| |
* Visudo can now export a sudoers file in JSON format using the |
| |
new -x flag. |
| |
|
| |
* The locale is now set correctly again for visudo and sudoreplay. |
| |
|
| |
* The plugin API has been extended to allow the plugin to exclude |
| |
specific file descriptors from the "closefrom" range. |
| |
|
| |
* There is now a workaround for a Solaris-specific problem where |
| |
NOEXEC was overriding traditional root DAC behavior. |
| |
|
| |
* Add user netgroup filtering for SSSD. Previously, rules for |
| |
a netgroup were applied to all even when they did not belong |
| |
to the specified netgroup. |
| |
|
| |
* On systems with BSD login classes, if the user specified a group |
| |
(not a user) to run the command as, it was possible to specify |
| |
a different login class even when the command was not run as the |
| |
super user. |
| |
|
| |
* The closefrom() emulation on Mac OS X now uses /dev/fd if possible. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug where sudoedit would not update the original file |
| |
from the temporary when PAM or I/O logging is not enabled. |
| |
|
| |
* When recycling I/O logs, the log files are now truncated properly. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixes bugs #617, #621, #622, #623, #624, #625, #626 |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.8? |
| |
|
| |
* Removed a warning on PAM systems with stacked auth modules |
| |
where the first module on the stack does not succeed. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo, sudoreplay and visudo now support GNU-style long options. |
| |
|
| |
* The -h (--host) option may now be used to specify a host name. |
| |
This is currently only used by the sudoers plugin in conjunction |
| |
with the -l (--list) option. |
| |
|
| |
* Program usage messages and manual SYNOPSIS sections have been |
| |
simplified. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo's LDAP SASL support now works properly with Kerberos. |
| |
Previously, the SASL library was unable to locate the user's |
| |
credential cache. |
| |
|
| |
* It is now possible to set the nproc resource limit to unlimited |
| |
via pam_limits on Linux (bug #565). |
| |
|
| |
* New "pam_service" and "pam_login_service" sudoers options |
| |
that can be used to specify the PAM service name to use. |
| |
|
| |
* New "pam_session" and "pam_setcred" sudoers options that |
| |
can be used to disable PAM session and credential support. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoers plugin now properly supports UIDs and GIDs |
| |
that are larger than 0x7fffffff on 32-bit platforms. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a visudo bug introduced in sudo 1.8.7 where per-group |
| |
Defaults entries would cause an internal error. |
| |
|
| |
* If the "tty_tickets" sudoers option is enabled (the default), |
| |
but there is no tty present, sudo will now use a ticket file |
| |
based on the parent process ID. This makes it possible to support |
| |
the normal timeout behavior for the session. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a problem running commands that change their process |
| |
group and then attempt to change the terminal settings when not |
| |
running the command in a pseudo-terminal. Previously, the process |
| |
would receive SIGTTOU since it was effectively a background |
| |
process. Sudo will now grant the child the controlling tty and |
| |
continue it when this happens. |
| |
|
| |
* The "closefrom_override" sudoers option may now be used in |
| |
a command-specified Defaults entry (bug #610). |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo's BSM audit support now works on Solaris 11. |
| |
|
| |
* Brazilian Portuguese translation for sudo and sudoers from |
| |
translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
* Czech translation for sudo from translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
* French translation for sudo from translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo's noexec support on Mac OS X 10.4 and above now uses dynamic |
| |
symbol interposition instead of setting DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1 |
| |
which causes issues with some programs. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed visudo's -q (--quiet) flag, broken in sudo 1.8.6. |
| |
|
| |
* Root may no longer change its SELinux role without entering |
| |
a password. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a bug introduced in Sudo 1.8.7 where the indexes written |
| |
to the I/O log timing file are two greater than they should be. |
| |
Sudoreplay now contains a work-around to parse those files. |
| |
|
| |
* In sudoreplay's list mode, the "this" qualifier in "fromdate" |
| |
or "todate" expressions now behaves more sensibly. Previously, |
| |
it would often match a date that was "one more" than expected. |
| |
For example, "this week" now matches the current week instead |
| |
of the following week. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.7? |
| |
|
| |
* The non-Unix group plugin is now supported when sudoers data |
| |
is stored in LDAP. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now uses a workaround for a locale bug on Solaris 11.0 |
| |
that prevents setuid programs like sudo from fully using locales. |
| |
|
| |
* User messages are now always displayed in the user's locale, |
| |
even when the same message is being logged or mailed in a |
| |
different locale. |
| |
|
| |
* Log files created by sudo now explicitly have the group set |
| |
to group ID 0 rather than relying on BSD group semantics (which |
| |
may not be the default). |
| |
|
| |
* A new "exec_background" sudoers option can be used to initially |
| |
run the command without read access to the terminal when running |
| |
a command in a pseudo-tty. If the command tries to read from |
| |
the terminal it will be stopped by the kernel (via SIGTTIN or |
| |
SIGTTOU) and sudo will immediately restart it as the foreground |
| |
process (if possible). This allows sudo to only pass terminal |
| |
input to the program if the program actually is expecting it. |
| |
Unfortunately, a few poorly-behaved programs (like "su" on most |
| |
Linux systems) do not handle SIGTTIN and SIGTTOU properly. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now uses an efficient group query to get all the groups |
| |
for a user instead of iterating over every record in the group |
| |
database on HP-UX and Solaris. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now produces better error messages when there is an error |
| |
in the sudo.conf file. |
| |
|
| |
* Two new settings have been added to sudo.conf to give the admin |
| |
better control of how group database queries are performed. The |
| |
"group_source" specifies how the group list for a user will be |
| |
determined. Legal values are "static" (use the kernel groups |
| |
list), "dynamic" (perform a group database query) and "adaptive" |
| |
(only perform a group database query if the kernel list is full). |
| |
The "max_groups" setting specifies the maximum number of groups |
| |
a user may belong to when performing a group database query. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudo.conf file now supports line continuation by using a |
| |
backslash as the last character on the line. |
| |
|
| |
* There is now a standalone sudo.conf manual page. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now stores its libexec files in a "sudo" sub-directory instead |
| |
of in libexec itself. For backwards compatibility, if the plugin |
| |
is not found in the default plugin directory, sudo will check |
| |
the parent directory if the default directory ends in "/sudo". |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoers I/O logging plugin now logs the terminal size. |
| |
|
| |
* A new sudoers option "maxseq" can be used to limit the number of |
| |
I/O log entries that are stored. |
| |
|
| |
* The "system_group" and "group_file" sudoers group provider plugins |
| |
are now installed by default. |
| |
|
| |
* The list output (sudo -l) output from the sudoers plugin is now |
| |
less ambiguous when an entry includes different runas users. |
| |
The long list output (sudo -ll) for file-based sudoers is now |
| |
more consistent with the format of LDAP-based sudoers. |
| |
|
| |
* A uid may now be used in the sudoRunAsUser attributes for LDAP |
| |
sudoers. |
| |
|
| |
* Minor plugin API change: the close and version functions are now |
| |
optional. If the policy plugin does not provide a close function |
| |
and the command is not being run in a new pseudo-tty, sudo may |
| |
now execute the command directly instead of in a child process. |
| |
|
| |
* A new sudoers option "pam_session" can be used to disable sudo's |
| |
PAM session support. |
| |
|
| |
* On HP-UX systems, sudo will now use the pstat() function to |
| |
determine the tty instead of ttyname(). |
| |
|
| |
* Turkish translation for sudo and sudoers from translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
* Dutch translation for sudo and sudoers from translationproject.org. |
| |
|
| |
* Tivoli Directory Server client libraries may now be used with |
| |
HP-UX where libibmldap has a hidden dependency on libCsup. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoers plugin will now ignore invalid domain names when |
| |
checking netgroup membership. Most Linux systems use the string |
| |
"(none)" for the NIS-style domain name instead of an empty string. |
| |
|
| |
* New support for specifying a SHA-2 digest along with the command |
| |
in sudoers. Supported hash types are sha224, sha256, sha384 and |
| |
sha512. See the description of Digest_Spec in the sudoers manual |
| |
or the description of sudoCommand in the sudoers.ldap manual for |
| |
details. |
| |
|
| |
* The paths to ldap.conf and ldap.secret may now be specified as |
| |
arguments to the sudoers plugin in the sudo.conf file. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed potential false positives in visudo's alias cycle detection. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a problem where the time stamp file was being treated |
| |
as out of date on Linux systems where the change time on the |
| |
pseudo-tty device node can change after it is allocated. |
| |
|
| |
* 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. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p8? |
| |
|
| |
* Terminal detection now works properly on 64-bit AIX kernels. |
| |
This was broken by the removal of the ttyname() fallback in Sudo |
| |
1.8.6p6. Sudo is now able to map an AIX 64-bit device number |
| |
to the corresponding device file in /dev. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now checks for crypt() returning NULL when performing |
| |
passwd-based authentication. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p7? |
| |
|
| |
* A time stamp file with the date set to the epoch by "sudo -k" |
| |
is now completely ignored regardless of what the local clock is |
| |
set to. Previously, if the local clock was set to a value between |
| |
the epoch and the time stamp timeout value, a time stamp reset |
| |
by "sudo -k" would be considered current. |
| |
|
| |
* The tty-specific time stamp file now includes the session ID |
| |
of the sudo process that created it. If a process with the same |
| |
tty but a different session ID runs sudo, the user will now be |
| |
prompted for a password (assuming authentication is required for |
| |
the command). |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p6? |
| |
|
| |
* On systems where the controlling tty can be determined via /proc |
| |
or sysctl(), sudo will no longer fall back to using ttyname() |
| |
if the process has no controlling tty. This prevents sudo from |
| |
using a non-controlling tty for logging and time stamp purposes. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p5? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a potential crash in visudo's alias cycle detection. |
| |
|
| |
* Improved performance on Solaris when retrieving the group list |
| |
for the target user. On systems with a large number of groups |
| |
where the group database is not local (NIS, LDAP, AD), fetching |
| |
the group list could take a minute or more. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p4? |
| |
|
| |
* The -fstack-protector is now used when linking visudo, sudoreplay |
| |
and testsudoers. |
| |
|
| |
* Avoid building PIE binaries on FreeBSD/ia64 as they don't run |
| |
properly. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a crash in visudo strict mode when an unknown Defaults |
| |
setting is encountered. |
| |
|
| |
* Do not inform the user that the command was not permitted by the |
| |
policy if they do not successfully authenticate. This is a |
| |
regression introduced in sudo 1.8.6. |
| |
|
| |
* Allow sudo to be build with sss support without also including |
| |
ldap support. |
| |
|
| |
* Fix running commands that need the terminal in the background |
| |
when I/O logging is enabled. E.g. "sudo vi &". When the command |
| |
is foregrounded, it will now resume properly. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p3? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed post-processing of the man pages on systems with legacy |
| |
versions of sed. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed "sudoreplay -l" on Linux systems with file systems that |
| |
set DT_UNKNOWN in the d_type field of struct dirent. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p2? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed suspending a command after it has already been resumed |
| |
once when I/O logging (or use_pty) is not enabled. |
| |
This was a regression introduced in version 1.8.6. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p1? |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed the setting of LOGNAME, USER and USERNAME variables in the |
| |
command's environment when env_reset is enabled (the default). |
| |
This was a regression introduced in version 1.8.6. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo now honors SUCCESS=return in /etc/nsswitch.conf. |
| |
|
| |
What's new in Sudo 1.8.6? |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo is now built with the -fstack-protector flag if the the |
| |
compiler supports it. Also, the -zrelro linker flag is used if |
| |
supported. The --disable-hardening configure option can be used |
| |
to build sudo without stack smashing protection. |
| |
|
| |
* Sudo is now built as a Position Independent Executable (PIE) |
| |
if supported by the compiler and linker. |
| |
|
| |
* If the user is a member of the "exempt" group in sudoers, they |
| |
will no longer be prompted for a password even if the -k flag |
| |
is specified with the command. This makes "sudo -k command" |
| |
consistent with the behavior one would get if the user ran "sudo |
| |
-k" immediately before running the command. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoers file may now be a symbolic link. Previously, sudo |
| |
would refuse to read sudoers unless it was a regular file. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoreplay command can now properly replay sessions where |
| |
no tty was present. |
| |
|
| |
* The sudoers plugin now takes advantage of symbol visibility |
| |
controls when supported by the compiler or linker. As a result, |
| |
only a small number of symbols are exported which significantly |
| |
reduces the chances of a conflict with other shared objects. |
| |
|
| |
* Improved support for the Tivoli Directory Server LDAP client |
| |
libraries. This includes support for using LDAP over SSL (ldaps) |
| |
as well as support for the BIND_TIMELIMIT, TLS_KEY and TLS_CIPHERS |
| |
ldap.conf options. A new ldap.conf option, TLS_KEYPW can be |
| |
used to specify a password to decrypt the key database. |
| |
|
| |
* When constructing a time filter for use with LDAP sudoNotBefore |
| |
and sudoNotAfter attributes, the current time now includes tenths |
| |
of a second. This fixes a problem with timed entries on Active |
| |
Directory. |
| |
|
| |
* If a user fails to authenticate and the command would be rejected |
| |
by sudoers, it is now logged with "command not allowed" instead |
| |
of "N incorrect password attempts". Likewise, the "mail_no_perms" |
| |
sudoers option now takes precedence over "mail_badpass". |
| |
|
| |
* The sudo manuals are now formatted using the mdoc macros. Versions |
| |
using the legacy man macros are provided for systems that lack mdoc. |
| |
|
| |
* New support for Solaris privilege sets. This makes it possible |
| |
to specify fine-grained privileges in the sudoers file on Solaris |
| |
10 and above. A Runas_Spec that contains no Runas_Lists can be |
| |
used to give a user the ability to run a command as themselves |
| |
but with an expanded privilege set. |
| |
|
| |
* Fixed a problem with the reboot and shutdown commands on some |
| |
systems (such as HP-UX and BSD). On these systems, reboot sends |
| |
all processes (except itself) SIGTERM. When sudo received |
| |
SIGTERM, it would relay it to the reboot process, thus killing |
| |
reboot before it had a chance to actually reboot the system. |
| |
|
| |
* Support for using the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) as |
| |
a source of sudoers data. |
| |
|
| |
* Slovenian translation for sudo and sudoers from translationproject.org. |
| |
