- update to 1.8.12 (fixes bnc#918953)
- changelog:
* The embedded copy of zlib has been upgraded to version 1.2.8 and
is now installed as a shared library where supported.
* Debug settings for the sudo front end and sudoers plugin are now configured separately.
* Multiple sudo.conf Debug entries may now be specified per program (or plugin).
* The plugin API has been extended such that the path to the plugin
that was loaded is now included in the settings array. This path
can be used to register with the debugging subsystem. The debug_flags
setting is now prefixed with a file name and may be specified multiple
times if there is more than one matching Debug setting in sudo.conf.
* The sudoers regression tests now run with the locale set to C since
some of the tests compare output that includes locale-specific messages. Bug #672.
* Fixed a bug where sudo would not run commands on Linux when compiled
with audit support if audit is disabled. Bug #671.
* The default password prompt now includes a trailing space after
"Password:" for consistency with su(1) on most systems. Bug #663.
* Visudo will now use the optional sudoers_file, sudoers_mode,
sudoers_uid and sudoers_gid arguments if specified on the sudoers.so Plugin line in the sudo.conf file.
* Fixed a problem introduced in sudo 1.8.8 that prevented the full
host name from being used when the fqdn sudoers option is used. Bug #678.
* Sudo now installs a handler for SIGCHLD signal handler immediately
before stating the process that will execute the command (or start the monitor).
* Removed a limit on the length of command line arguments expanded by
a wild card using sudo's version of the fnmatch() function.
This limit was introduced when sudo's version of fnmatch() was replaced in sudo 1.8.4.
* LDAP-based sudoers can now query an LDAP server for a user's netgroups
directly. This is often much faster than fetching every sudoRole object
containing a sudoUser that begins with a `+' prefix and checking
whether the user is a member of any of the returned netgroups.

In the default (ie unconfigured) configuration sudo asks for root password. This allows to use an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly installed system. When configuring sudo, please make sure to delete the two following lines: Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root %users ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'!
