[sudo-1.6.7p3-1]
- Kerberos V support should work on latest MIT Kerberos V and Heimdal.
* Thu Apr 03 2003 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.7p2-1]
- Backed out changes to mkinstalldirs from autoconf 2.57 that caused problems
on Tru64 Unix.
- The krb5-config script is used to determine Kerberos V CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS/LIBS if it exists.
- An unterminated comment broke Kerberos V authentication.
* Tue Apr 01 2003 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.7p1-1]
- Fixed false positives in the overflow detection of expand_prompt().
[sudo-1.6.7-1]
- Wildcards now work correctly in the env_keep Defaults directive.
- Added support for non-root timestamp dirs. This allows the timestamp
dir to be shared via NFS (though this is not recommended).
- Removed double printing of bad environment variable table in -V mode.
- configure script has been regenerated with autoconf 2.5.7.
This required some changes to configure.in.
- Fixed a compilation problem on SunOS; thanks to Alek O. Komarnitsky.
- SecurID 5.0 API support from Michael Stroucken.
- Restore state of signal handlers to what we had upon startup.
Fixes a problem when using sudo with nohup; thanks to Paul Markham.
- Revamp set_perms() to use setresuid() or setreuid() when available
in preference to POSIX stuff since they allow us to properly
implement "stay_setuid" whereas POSIX does not really.
- In strict mode sudo did not throw an error for undefined User_Aliases.
- Fixed a Makefile bug on IRIX.
- Write the prompt *after* turning off echo to avoid some password
characters being echoed on heavily-loaded machines with fast typists.
- Added %U and %H escapes in the prompt and fixed treatment of %.
- Visudo will now add a final newline to sudoers if the user's editor
not add one before EOF.
- The lexer state is now reset to its initial value on EOF.
Previously, the state was not reset between parser invocations
which could cause problems for visudo in rare cases.
- Added support for Defaults that apply based on the RunasUser.
- Sudo now includes copies of strlc{at,py} and uses them throughout.
- Sudo is now careful to avoid interger overflow when allocating
memory. This is one of those "should not happen" situations.
- Added a configure option (--with-stow) to make sudo compatible
with GNU stow.
- auth/kerb5.c now compiles under Heimdal.
- The volatile prefix is used in the hopes of preventing compilers
from optimizing away memory zeroing. Unfortunately, this results
in some warnings from gcc.
- Better Kerberos IV/V support in the configure script.
- Fixed a logic thinko in the SIGCHLD handler that caused problems
with rlogin on HP-UX.
- configure now adds -R to LDFLAGS when it adds -L for Solaris and
SVR4. There is a configure option, --with-rpath, to control this.
- On AIX, configure will pass extra directory paths to the linker
via the -blibpath ld option. This is only active when additional
library paths are used. It may be disabled via the
--without-blibpath configure option.
- The --with-skey and --with-opie configure options now take
an optional directory argument that should have an include and
lib dir for the skey/opie include file and library respectively.
* Fri Apr 26 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.6-1]
- Fixed compilation problem on HP-UX 9.x.
- Moved call to endpwent() and added a call to endgrent().
- Fixed a warning conflicting declaration of VOID with AFS.
- Fixed a security hole in prompt rewriting found by Global InterSec.
* Thu Jan 24 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.5p2-1]
- Older versions of BSDi have getifaddrs() but no freeifaddrs().
- BSDi has a fake setreuid() as do certain versions of FreeBSD and NetBSD.
- Ignore the return value of pam_setcred(). In Linux-PAM 0.75,
pam_setcred() will return PAM_PERM_DENIED even if the setcred function
of the module succeeds when pam_authenticate() has not been called.
- Avoid giving PAM a NULL password response, use the empty string instead.
This avoids a log warning when the user hits ^C at the password prompt
when Linux-PAM is in use. This also prevents older versions of
Linux-PAM from dereferencing the NULL pointer.
- The user's password was not zeroed after use when AIX authentication,
BSD authentication, FWTK or PAM was in use.
* Fri Jan 18 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.5p1-1]
- Visudo could access memory that was already freed.
- If the skey.access file denied use of plaintext passwords sudo
would exit instead of allowing the user to enter an S/Key.
* Thu Jan 17 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.5-1]
- Added a configure option to cause mail sent by sudo to be run as
the invoking user instead of root. Some people consider this to
be safer.
- If the mailer is being run as root, use a hard-coded environment
that is not influenced in any way by the invoking user's environment.
- Fixed the call to skeyaccess(). Patch from Phillip E. Lobbes.
* Wed Jan 16 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.4p2-1]
- Some special characters were not being escaped properly (e..g '\,')
in command line arguments and would cause a syntax error instead.
- "sudo -l" would not work if the always_set_home option was set.
- Added a configure option to disable use of POSIX saved IDs for
operating systems where these are broken.
- The SHELL environment variable was preserved from the user's environment
instead of being reset based on the passwd database even when the
"env_reset" option was set.
* Tue Jan 15 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.4p1-1]
- Move the call to rebuild_env() until after MODE_RESET_HOME is set.
Otherwise, the set_home option has no effect.
- Fix use of freed memory when the "fqdn" flag is set. This was
introduced by the fix for the "segv when gethostbynam() fails" bug.
- Add 'continue' statements to optimize the switch statement. From Solar.
* Mon Jan 14 2002 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@falsehope.com>
[sudo-1.6.4-1]
- Visudo now checks for the existence of an editor and gives a sensible
error if it does not exist.
- The path to the editor for visudo is now a colon-separated list of
allowable editors. If the user has $EDITOR set and it matches
one of the allowed editors that editor will be used. If not,
the first editor that actually exists is used.
- Visudo now does its own fork/exec instead of calling system(3).
- Allow special characters (including '#') to be embedded in pathnames
if quoted by a '\\'. The quoted chars will be dealt with by fnmatch().
Unfortunately, 'sudo -l' still prints the '\\'.
- Added the always_set_home option.
- Strip NLSPATH and PATH_LOCALE out from the environment to prevent
reading of protected files by a less privileged user.
- Added support for BSD authentication and associated -a flag.
- Added check for _innetgr(3) since NCR systems have this instead
of innetgr(3).
- Added stay_setuid option for systems that have libraries that perform
extra paranoia checks in system libraries for setuid programs.
- Environment munging is now done by hand. The environment is zeroed
upon sudo startup and a new environment is built before the command
is executed. This means we don't rely on getenv(3), putenv(3),
or setenv(3).
- Added a class of environment variables that are only cleared if they
contain '/' or '%' characters.
- Use stashed user_gid when checking against exempt gid since sudo
sets its gid to SUDOERS_GID, making getgid() return that, not the
real gid. Fixes problem with setting exempt group == SUDOERS_GID.
Fix from Paul Kranenburg.
- Fixed file locking in visudo on NeXT which has a broken lockf().
Patch from twetzel@gwdg.de.
- Regenerated configure script with autoconf-2.52 (required some
tweaking of configure.in and friends).
- Added mail_badpass option to send mail when the user does not
authenticate successfully.
- Added env_reset Defaults option to reset the environment to
a clean slate. Also implemented env_keep Defaults option
to specify variables to be preserved when resetting the
environment.
- Added env_check and env_delete Defaults options to allow the admin
to modify the builtin list of environment variables to remove.
- If timestamp_timeout < 0 then the timestamp never expires. This
allows users to manage their own timestamps and create or delete
them via 'sudo -v' and 'sudo -k' respectively.
- Authentication routines that use sudo's tgetpass() now accept
^C or ^Z at the password prompt and sudo will act appropriately.
- Added a check-only mode to visudo to check an existing sudoers
file for sanity.
- Visudo can now edit an alternate sudoers file.
- If sudo is configured with S/Key support and the system has
skeyaccess(3) use that to determine whether or not to allow
a normal Unix password or just S/Key.
- Fixed CIDR handling in sudoers.
- Fixed a segv if the local hostname is not resolvable and
the 'fqdn' option is set.
- "listpw=never" was not having an effect for users who did not
appear in sudoers--now it does.
- The --without-sendmail option now works on systems with
a /usr/include/paths.h file that defines _PATH_SENDMAIL.
- Removed the "secure_path" Defaults option as it does not work and
cannot work until the parser is overhauled.
- Added new -P flag and "preserve_groups" sudoers option to cause
sudo to preserve the group vector instead of setting it to that
of the target user. Previously, if the target user was root
the group vector was not changed. Now it is always changed unless
the -P flag or "preserve_groups" option was given.
- If find_path() fails as root, try again as the invoking user (useful
for NFS). Idea from Chip Capelik.
- Use setpwent()/endpwent() and its shadow equivalents to be sure
the passwd/shadow file gets closed.
- Use getifaddrs(3) to get the list of network interfaces if it is
available.
- Dump list of local IP addresses and environment variables to clear
when 'sudo -V' is run as root.
- Reorganized the lexer a bit and added more states. Sudo now does a
better job of parsing command arguments in the sudoers file.
- Wrap each call to syslog() with openlog()/closelog() since some
things (such as PAM) may call closelog(3) behind sudo's back.
- The LOGNAME and USER environment variables are now set if the user
specified a target uid and that uid exists in the password database.
- configure will no longer add the -g flag to CFLAGS by default.
- Now call pam_setcreds() to setup creds for the target user when
PAM is in use. On Linux this often sets resource limits.
- If "make install" is run by non-root and the destination dir
is writable, install things normally but don't set owner and mode.
- The Makefile now supports installing in a shadow hierarchy
specified via the DESTDIR variable.
- config.h.in is now generated by autoheader.
* Wed Mar 07 2001 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3p7-1]
- Fix negation of path-type Defaults entries in a boolean context.
* Thu Feb 22 2001 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3p6-1]
- Fix word splitting bug that caused a segv for very long command line args.
* Mon Aug 14 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3p5-1]
- Fixed listpw and verifypw sudoers options.
- Do not write NUL when writing passwd prompt; hag@linnaean.org.
* Mon Jun 05 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3p4-1]
- Fixed a case where a string was used after it has been freed.
* Mon May 15 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3p3-1]
- Fixed a bug that prevented the -H option from being useful.
- When the targetpw flag is set, use the target username as part
of the timestamp path.
- Fixed targetpw, rootpw, and runaspw options when used with non-passwd
authentication (pam, etc).
* Sun Apr 02 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3-2]
- Added check for /bin/vi in spec and use that editor for visudo if found.
- Added --with-env-editor to allow visudo to use $EDITOR env variable.
* Mon Mar 27 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.3-1]
- It is now possible to set the path to the editor for visudo as well
as the flag that determines whether or not visudo will look at
$EDITOR in the sudoers file.
- configure now pulls in the values of LIBS, LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, etc
as the documentation says it ought to.
- Added rootpw, runaspw, and targetpw to prompt for the root, runas_default
and target user's passwords respectively (instead of the invoking user's
password).
- Added -S flag to force password read from stdin.
- Restore coredumpsize resource limit before exec'ing the child
process (sudo sets it to 0 internally).
- Truncate unencrypted password to 8 chars if encrypted password is exactly
13 characters (indicateing standard a DES password). Many versions
of crypt() do this for you, but not all (like HP-UX's).
- Fixed a typo/thinko that broke secureware support for long passwords.
- Added a new command line switch '-c' to support BSD login classes.
The '-c' option can be used to sudo a command with specific resource
limits in the login.conf database. This feature is optionally enabled
via the --with-logincap configure switch. Based on a patch from
Michael D. Marchionna.
- Fixed a bug where sudo would hang around and consume CPU if we spawn
a long-running process.
- Deal with HP-UX password aging info tacked on to the end of the
encrypted password.
- Added set_logname run-time option. When unset, sudo will not set
the USER and LOGNAME environment variables.
- Wildcards are now allowed in the hostnames specified in sudoers.
The 'fqdn' option is often required for this to be useful.
- Fixed a bug where host and user qualifiers in a Defaults entry were
not being used correctly and the entry was being applied globally.
* Fri Mar 10 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.2p3-1]
- Fixed a typo/think that broke secureware support for long passwords.
* Mon Feb 28 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.2p2-1]
- Fixed a bug that caused an infinite loop when the password
timeout was disabled.
* Fri Jan 28 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.2p1-1]
- Users in the 'exempt' group shouldn't get their $PATH overridden
by 'secure-path'. Patch from jmknoble@pobox.com.
- Pam now works on HP-UX 11.0, thanks to Jeff A. Earickson.
* Mon Jan 24 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.2-1]
- Better behavior for -l and -v flags in conjunction with NOPASSWD and
added "verifypw" and "listpw" options.
- For HP-UX with cc, add the -Aa flag along with -D_HPUX_SOURCE.
- Fix compilation with K&R compilers.
- For netgroup host matching, match against the short version of the
hostname as well as the long one if they are different.
- Terminate passwd reading on '\r' in addition to '\n'
- Visudo used to loop endlessly if a user entered ^D at the whatnow
prompt. EOF is now treaded as 'x' (exit w/o saving changes).
- The 'shell_noargs' runtime option is back based on a patch from
bguillory@email.com.
- Systems that return RLIM_INFINITY for RLIMIT_NOFILE (like AIX)
would loop for a very loing time during sudo startup. A value of
RLIM_INFINITY is now ignored (getdtablesize/sysconf is used instead).
- Locking in visudo was broken. We now lock the sudoers file, not the
sudoers temp file, which should be safe.
- PAM fixups: custom prompts now work correctly and errors are
dealt with more sanely. Patches from Cloyce D. Spradling.
* Fri Dec 10 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6.1-1]
- Better diagnostics on PAM failure.
- The --enable-noargs-shell configure option works again. The
noargs-shell run-time option has been removed since it cannot
work due to the way the sudoers file is parsed.
- The following run-time options were not honored in all cases:
set_home, fqdn, syslog, tty_tickets, ticket_dir, insults.
- Fixed a bug parsing runas modifiers. If a user spec contained
multiple runas specs, the latter ones may not be applied.
- #uid now works in a RunasAlias line.
- Don't ask the user for a password if the user is not allowed to run
the command and the authenticate flag (in sudoers) is false.
- SecurID support now compiles and works.
* Wed Nov 17 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6-1]
- Updated to version 1.6 Full Release.
* Fri Nov 12 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6rc1-1]
- Updated to version 1.6 rc 1.
- sudo now turns off core dumps via setrlimit (probably paranoia).
* Tue Nov 02 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6beta11-1]
- Updated to version 1.6 beta 11.
- Fixed the root_sudo option. Sudo was always complaining that root
was not allowed to run sudo if the root_sudo flag was turned off.
- tgetpass() now uses a function to read up until the end of line.
Fixes problems in a pipeline when a program sets the tty mode
to be character at a time.
* Mon Nov 01 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6beta10-1]
- Updated to version 1.6 beta 10. See CHANGELOG for details.
- Added -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS. Some machines need this to compile.
* Mon Oct 18 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6beta9-1]
- Updated to version 1.6 beta 9. See CHANGELOG for details.
* Wed Oct 13 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[sudo-1.6beta8-2]
- Changed Copyright rpm header info.. BSD now.
- Updated to version 1.6 beta 8. See CHANGELOG for details.
* Fri Jul 09 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[cu-sudo-1.6beta6-1]
- New PAM code again, this time it should be correct. If your PAM
actually honors appdata_ptr (Solaris does not) sudo will retain
its 'quit if you hit return at the password prompt' behavior.
- tgetpass() now has a flag to specify whether or not to turn
off echo while reading the password. Used by the new PAM code.
* Tue Jun 22 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[cu-sudo-1.6beta5-1]
- The password authentication code has moved from check.c to auth.c.
- Kerberos V < 1.1 should work again (using the Kerberos IV code).
* Fri Jun 04 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[cu-sudo-1.6beta4-2]
- Added dir /var/run/sudo to file list.
- Added --enable-log-host --disable-log-wrap to configure.
- Added --with-logging=file to configure.
- Added logrotate.d file to rotate /var/log/sudo.log monthly.
* Fri Jun 04 1999 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[cu-sudo-1.6beta4-1]
- Upgraded to 1.6beta4
- The runas user and NOPASSWD tags are now persistent across entries
in a command list (ie: cmnd1,cmnd2,cmnd3). A PASSWD tag has been
added to reverse NOPASSWD. The runas user and *PASSWD tags can be
overridden on a per-command basis at which point they become the
new default for the rest of the list.
- It is now possible to use the '!' operator in a runas list as
well as in a Cmnd_Alias, Host_Alias and User_Alias.
- In estrdup(), do the malloc ourselves so we don't need to rely on the
system strdup(3) which may or may not exist. There is now no need to
provide strdup() for those w/o it.
- You can now specifiy a host list instead of just a host or alias
in a privilege list. Ie: user=host1,host2,ALIAS,!host3 /bin/ls
- Stash the "safe" path to the command instead of stashing the struct
stat. Should be safer.
- Now set $LOGNAME in addition to $USER.
- No longer use stdio in tgetpass()
- Don't use _PASSWD_LEN or PASS_MAX as we can't rely on them corresponding
to anything real. Instead, we just use a max password size of 256
everywhere.
