- Update to 1.9.4p2
* Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.4p1 which could lead to a crash
if the sudoers file contains a runas user-specific Defaults entry.
Bug #951.
- News in 1.9.4p1
* Fixed a regression introduced in version 1.9.4 where sudo would
not build when configured using the --without-sendmail option.
Bug #947.
* Fixed a problem where if I/O logging was disabled and sudo was
unable to connect to sudo_logsrvd, the command would still be
allowed to run even when the "ignore_logfile_errors" sudoers
option was enabled.
* Fixed a crash introduced in version 1.9.4 when attempting to run
a command as a non-existent user. Bug #948.
* The installed sudo.conf file now has the default sudoers Plugin
lines commented out. This fixes a potential conflict when there
is both a system-installed version of sudo and a user-installed
version. GitHub issue #75.
* Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.9.4 where sudo would run
the command as a child process even when a pseudo-terminal was
not in use and the "pam_session" and "pam_setcred" options were
disabled. GitHub issue #76.
* Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.8.9 where the "closefrom"
sudoers option could not be set to a value of 3. Bug #950.

- Update to 1.9.4
* The sudoers parser will now detect when an upper-case reserved
word is used when declaring an alias. Now instead of "syntax
error, unexpected CHROOT, expecting ALIAS" the message will be
"syntax error, reserved word CHROOT used as an alias name".
Bug #941.
* Better handling of sudoers files without a final newline.
The parser now adds a newline at end-of-file automatically which
removes the need for special cases in the parser.
* Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.9.1 in the sssd back-end
where an uninitialized pointer could be freed on an error path.
GitHub issue #67.
* The core logging code is now shared between sudo_logsrvd and
the sudoers plugin.
* JSON log entries sent to syslog now use "minimal" JSON which
skips all non-essential whitespace.
* The sudoers plugin can now produce JSON-formatted logs. The
"log_format" sudoers option can be used to select sudo or json
format logs. The default is sudo format logs.
* The sudoers plugin and visudo now display the column number in
syntax error messages in addition to the line number. Bug #841.
* If I/O logging is not enabled but "log_servers" is set, the
sudoers plugin will now log accept events to sudo_logsrvd.
Previously, the accept event was only sent when I/O logging was
enabled. The sudoers plugin now sends reject and alert events too.
* The sudo logsrv protocol has been extended to allow an AlertMessage
to contain an optional array of InfoMessage, as AcceptMessage
and RejectMessage already do.
* Fixed a bug in sudo_logsrvd where receipt of SIGHUP would result
in duplicate entries in the debug log when debugging was enabled.

- Update to 1.9.3p1
* Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.9.3 where the configure
script would not detect the crypt(3) function if it was present
in the C library, not an additional library.
* Fixed a regression introduced in sudo 1.8.23 with shadow passwd
file authentication on OpenBSD. BSD authentication was not
affected.
* Sudo now logs when a user-specified command-line option is
rejected by a sudoers rule. Previously, these conditions were
written to the audit log, but the default sudo log file. Affected
command line arguments include -C (--close-from), -D (--chdir),
-R (--chroot), -g (--group) and -u (--user).
- News in 1.9.3
* Fixed building the Python plugin on systems with a compiler that
doesn't support symbol hiding.
* Sudo now uses a linker script to hide symbols even when the
compiler has native symbol hiding support. This should make it
easier to detect omissions in the symbol exports file, regardless
of the platform.
* Fixed the libssl dependency in Debian packages for older releases
that use libssl1.0.0.
* Sudo and visudo now provide more detailed messages when a syntax
error is detected in sudoers. The offending line and token are
now displayed. If the parser was generated by GNU bison,
additional information about what token was expected is also
displayed. Bug #841.
* Sudoers rules must now end in either a newline or the end-of-file.
Previously, it was possible to have multiple rules on a single
line, separated by white space. The use of an end-of-line
terminator makes it possible to display accurate error messages.

- Update to 1.9.2:
* The configure script now uses pkg-config to find the openssl cflags
and libs where possible.
* The contents of the log.json I/O log file is now documented in
the sudoers manual.
* The sudoers plugin now properly exports the sudoers_audit symbol
on systems where the compiler lacks symbol visibility controls.
This caused a regression in 1.9.1 where a successful sudo command
was not logged due to the missing audit plugin. Bug #931.
* Fixed a regression introduced in 1.9.1 that can result in crash
when there is a syntax error in the sudoers file. Bug #934.

- Update to 1.9.1
* Fixed an AIX-specific problem when I/O logging was enabled.
The terminal device was not being properly set to raw mode.
Bug #927.
* Corrected handling of sudo_logsrvd connections without associated
I/O log data. This fixes support for RejectMessage as well as
AcceptMessage when the expect_iobufs flag is not set.
* Added an "iolog_path" entry to the JSON-format event log produced
by sudo_logsrvd. Previously, it was only possible to determine
the I/O log file an event belonged to using sudo-format logs.
* Fixed the bundle IDs for sudo-logsrvd and sudo-python macOS packages.
* I/O log files produced by the sudoers plugin now clear the write
bits on the I/O log timing file when the log is complete. This
is consistent with how sudo_logsrvd indicates that a log is
complete.
* The sudoreplay utility has a new "-F" (follow) command line
option to allow replaying a session that is still in progress,
similar to "tail -f".
* The @include and @includedir directives can be used in sudoers
instead of #include and #includedir. In addition, include paths
may now have embedded white space by either using a double-quoted
string or escaping the space characters with a backslash.
* When running a command in a pty, sudo will no longer try to
suspend itself if the user's tty has been revoked (for instance
when the parent ssh daemon is killed). This fixes a bug where
sudo would continuously suspend the command (which would succeed),
then suspend itself (which would fail due to the missing tty)
and then resume the command.
* If sudo's event loop fails due to the tty being revoked, remove
the user's tty events and restart the event loop (once). This

- Update to 1.9.0rc4
* Various spelling fixes. Bug #925.
* The struct passwd passed to PAM session modules is now looked up
by user name, not user-ID, when possible. Fixes a problem with
the pam_limits module and configurations where multiple user names
share the same ID. Debian bug #734752.
* Sudo command line options that take a value may only be specified
once. This is to help guard against problems caused by poorly
written scripts that invoke sudo with user-controlled input. Bug #924.
- Update to 1.9.0rc3
* The sudo-logsrvd package now installs a systemd service on Linux
distros that use systemd.
* The I/O plugin is now closed before the policy plugin on command
exit.
* When copying the edited files to the original path, sudoedit now
allocates any additional space needed before writing. Previously,
it could truncate the destination file if the file system was
full. Bug #922.
* Fixed a compilation issue with Python 3.8.
* Changed how TLS connections are made to the log server. Instead
of using a starttls type approach where TLS and plaintext
connections share the same point we now use separate ports for
plaintext and TLS connections. A (tls) flag can be specified after
the host:port to indicate that the connection should be secured
with TLS. This avoids a potention man-in-the-middle attack that
could cause the connection to be forced into plaintext mode.
Unfortunately, this change breaks compatibility with the
previous release candidates.

- Update to 1.9.0rc2
* Fixed a test failure in the strsig_test regress test on FreeBSD.
* Sudo now includes a logging daemon, sudo_logsrvd, which can be
used to implement centralized logging of I/O logs. TLS connections
are supported when sudo is configured with the --enable-openssl
option. For more information, see the sudo_logsrvd, logsrvd.conf
and sudo_logsrv.proto manuals as well as the log_servers setting
in the sudoers manual.
The --disable-log-server and --disable-log-client configure
options can be used to disable building the I/O log server and/or
remote I/O log support in the sudoers plugin.
* The new sudo_sendlog utility can be used to test sudo_logsrvd
or send existing sudo I/O logs to a centralized server.
* It is now possible to write sudo plugins in Python 3 when sudo
is configured with the --enable-python> option. See the
sudo_plugin_python.man.html manual for details.
Sudo 1.9.0 comes with several Python example plugins that get
installed sudo's examples directory.
The sudo blog article "What's new in sudo 1.9: Python"
(https://blog.sudo.ws/posts/2020/01/whats-new-in-sudo-1.9-python/)
includes a simple tutorial on writing python plugins.
* Sudo now supports an "audit" plugin type. An audit plugin
receives accept, reject, exit and error messages and can be used
to implement custom logging that is independent of the underlying
security policy. Multiple audit plugins may be specified in
the sudo.conf file. A sample audit plugin is included that
writes logs in JSON format.
* Sudo now supports an "approval" plugin type. An approval plugin
is run only after the main security policy (such as sudoers) accepts
a command to be run. The approval policy may perform additional

- Update to 1.8.31
Major changes between version 1.8.31 and 1.8.30:
* This version fixes a potential security issue that can lead to
a buffer overflow if the pwfeedback option is enabled in
sudoers [CVE-2019-18634] [bsc#1162202]
* The sudoedit_checkdir option now treats a user-owned directory
as writable, even if it does not have the write bit set at the
time of check. Symbolic links will no longer be followed by
sudoedit in any user-owned directory. Bug #912.
* Fixed a crash introduced in sudo 1.8.30 when suspending sudo
at the password prompt. Bug #914.
* Fixed compilation on systems where the mmap MAP_ANON flag is
not available. Bug #915.
Major changes between version 1.8.30 and 1.8.29:
* Sudo now closes file descriptors before changing uids. This
prevents a non-root process from interfering with sudo's ability
to close file descriptors on systems that support the prlimit(2)
system call.
* Sudo now treats an attempt to run sudo sudoedit as simply
sudoedit If the sudoers file contains a fully-qualified path
to sudoedit, sudo will now treat it simply as sudoedit
(with no path). Visudo will will now treat a fully-qualified
path to sudoedit as an error. Bug #871.
* Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.8.28 where sudo would warn
about a missing /etc/environment file on AIX and Linux when
PAM is not enabled. Bug #907.
* Fixed a bug on Linux introduced in sudo 1.8.29 that prevented
the askpass program from running due to an unlimited stack size
resource limit. Bug #908.
* If a group provider plugin has optional arguments, the argument

- Update to 1.8,28p1
* The fix for Bug #869 caused "sudo -v" to prompt for a password
when "verifypw" is set to "all" (the default) and all of the
user's sudoers entries are marked with NOPASSWD. Bug #901.
- Update to 1.8.28
* Fixed CVE-2019-14287 (bsc#1153674),
a bug where a sudo user may be able to
run a command as root when the Runas specification explicitly
disallows root access as long as the ALL keyword is listed first.
* Sudo will now only set PAM_TTY to the empty string when no
terminal is present on Solaris and Linux. This workaround is
only needed on those systems which may have PAM modules that
misbehave when PAM_TTY is not set.
* The mailerflags sudoers option now has a default value even if
sendmail support was disabled at configure time. Fixes a crash
when the mailerpath sudoers option is set but mailerflags is not.
Bug #878.
* Sudo will now filter out last login messages on HP-UX unless it
a shell is being run via "sudo -s" or "sudo -i". Otherwise,
when trusted mode is enabled, these messages will be displayed
for each command.
* Sudo has a new -B command line option that will ring the terminal
bell when prompting for a password.
* Sudo no longer refuses to prompt for a password when it cannot
determine the user's terminal as long as it can open /dev/tty.
This allows sudo to function on systems where /proc is unavailable,
such as when running in a chroot environment.
* The "env_editor" sudoers flag is now on by default. This makes
source builds more consistent with the packages generated by
