sudo-1.9.16

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

[Rahul Chandra]

Added the cmddenial_message sudoers option to provide additional information to the user when a command is denied by the sudoers policy. The default message is still displayed.

The time stamp used for file-based logs is now more consistent with the time stamp produced by syslog. GitHub issue #327.

Sudo will now warn the user if it can detect the user’s terminal but cannot determine the path to the terminal device. The sudoers time stamp file will now use the terminal device number directly. GitHub issue #329.

The embedded copy of zlib has been updated to version 1.3.1.

Improved error handling if generating the list of signals and signal names fails at build time.

Fixed a compilation issue on Linux systems without process_vm_readv().

Fixed cross-compilation with WolfSSL.

Added a json_compact value for the sudoers log_format option which can be used when logging to a file. The existing json value has been aliased to json_pretty. In a future release, json will be an alias for json_compact. GitHub issue #357.

A new pam_silent sudoers option has been added which may be negated to avoid suppressing output from PAM authentication modules. GitHub issue #216.

Fixed several cvtsudoers JSON output problems. GitHub issues #369, #370, #371, #373, #381.

When sudo runs a command in a pseudo-terminal and the user’s terminal is revoked, the pseudo-terminal’s foreground process group will now receive SIGHUP before the terminal is revoked. This emulates the behavior of the session leader exiting and is consistent with what happens when, for example, an ssh session is closed. GitHub issue #367.

Fixed make test with Python 3.12. GitHub issue #374.

In schema.ActiveDirectory, fixed the quoting in the example command. GitHub issue #376.

Paths specified via a Chdir_Spec or Chroot_Spec in sudoers may now be double-quoted.

Sudo insults are now included by default, but disabled unless the --with-insults configure option is specified or the insults sudoers option is enabled.

The default sudoers file now enables the secure_path option by default and preserves the EDITOR, VISUAL, and SUDO_EDITOR environment variables when running visudo. The new --with-secure-path-value configure option can be used to set the value of secure_path in the default sudoers file. GitHub issue #387.

A sudoers schema for IBM Directory Server (aka IBM Tivoli Directory Server, IBM Security Directory Server, and IBM Security Verify Directory) is now included.

When cross-compiling sudo, the configure script now assumes that the snprintf() function is C99-compliant if the C compiler supports the C99 standard. Previously, configure would use sudo’s own snprintf() when cross-compiling. GitHub issue #386.
