* 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.
