* Fix a possible local privilege escalation via the --host option
[bsc#1245274, CVE-2025-32462]
* Fix a possible local privilege Escalation via chroot option
[bsc#1245275, CVE-2025-32463]
- Update to 1.9.17
* Sudo now uses the NODEV macro consistently. Bug #1074.
Fixed a bug where the ALL command in a sudoers rule would
override a previous NOSETENV tag. Command tags are inherited from
previous Cmnds in a Cmnd_Spec_List. There is a special case for
the SETENV tag with the ALL command, where SETENV is implied if
no explicit SETENV or NOSETENV tag is specified. This special
case did not take into account that a NOSETENV tag that was inherited
should override this behavior.
* If sudo is run via ssh without a terminal and a password is required,
it now suggest using ssh’s -t option.
* Fixed the display of timeout values in the sudo -V output on systems
without a C99-compliant snprintf() function.
* Quieted a number of minor Coverity warnings.
* Fixed a problem running sudo from a serial console on Linux when the
command is run in a pseudo-terminal (the default).
* Fixed a crash in sudo which could occur if there was a fatal error
after the user was validated but before the command was actually run.
* Fixed a number of man page style warnings. The “lint” make target in
the docs directory will now run groff with warnings enabled if it is
available. Bug #1075.
* The ignore_dot sudoers setting is now on by default. There is now a
--disable-ignore-dot configure option to disable it. The
--with-ignore-dot configure option has been deprecated.
* Fixed a problem with the pwfeedback option where an initial backspace
would reduce the maximum length allowed for the password.
GitHub issue #439.
* Fixed minor grammar and spelling problems in the man pages.
* Fixed a bug where a user could avoid entering a password for sudo -l
command if they specified their own user or group name via the -u or
-g options.
* Avoid potential password guessing based on timing attacks on the
strcmp() function on systems without PAM or a crypt() function where
plaintext passwords are stored in the shadow password file.
* Fixed a potential information leak where sudo -l command could be used
to determine whether an executable exists in a directory that they do
not have search access to.
* Sudo uses TCSAFLUSH, not TCSADRAIN, when disabling echo once again.
A long time ago sudo changed from using TCSAFLUSH to TCSADRAIN due
to some systems having bugs related to TCSAFLUSH. That should no longer
be a concern. Using TCSAFLUSH ensures that password input that has been
received by the kernel, but not yet read by sudo, will be discarded and
not echoed.
* Added the SUDO_TTY environment variable if the user has a terminal.
This can be used to find the user’s original tty device when sudo runs
the command in its own pseudo-terminal. GitHub issue #447.
* New Cantonese translation for sudo.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/sudo?expand=0&rev=258
* Sudo now passes the terminal device number to the policy plugin
even if it cannot resolve it to a path name. This allows sudo to
run without warnings in a chroot jail when the terminal device
files are not present. GitHub issue #421.
* On Linux systems, sudo will now attempt to use the symbolic links
in /proc/self/fd/{0,1,2} when resolving the terminal device number.
This can allow sudo to map a terminal device to its path name even
when /dev/pts is not mounted in a chroot jail.
* Fixed compilation errors with gcc and clang in C23 mode. C23 no
longer supports functions with unspecified arguments. GitHub issue
#420.
* Fixed the test for cross-compiling when checking for C99 snprintf().
The changes made to the test in sudo 1.9.16 resulted in a different
problem. GitHub issue #386.
* Fixed the date used by the exit record in sudo-format log files.
This was a regression introduced in sudo 1.9.16 and only affected
file-based logs, not syslog. GitHub issue #405.
* Fixed the root cause of the “unable to find terminal name for device”
message when running sudo on AIX when no terminal is present. In
sudo 1.9.16 this was turned from a debug message into a warning.
GitHub issue #408.
* When a duplicate alias is found in the sudoers file, the warning
message now includes the file and line number of the previous
definition.
* Added support for the --with-secure-path-value=no configure option
to allow packagers to ship the default sudoers file with the secure
path line commented out.
* Sudo no longer sends mail when a user runs sudo -nv or sudo -nl,
even if mail_badpass or mail_always are set. Sudo already avoids
logging to a file or syslog in this case. Bug #1072.
* 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.

- Update to 1.9.15p5:
* 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.

- For existing products (SLE15-SP* and older) keep using /etc and don't
switch to /usr/etc. So only SLES16/ALP, Tumbleweed and newer products
will use both /etc and /usr/etc locations.
- Update to 1.9.15p4:
* 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.
- Update to 1.9.15p3:
* 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.

- Update to 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.
GitHub issue #326.
- Update to 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.
GitHub issue #325.
- Update to 1.9.15:
* Fixed an undefined symbol problem on older versions of macOS
when "intercept" or "log_subcmds" are enabled in sudoers.
GitHub issue #276.
* 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. Bug #1056.
* 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. GitHub issue #294.
* 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. GitHub issue #289.
* 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

- Update to 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.
- Update to 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 when running a command in
a pseudo-terminal.
* 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. #290.

- Update to 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.
* 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.
