- 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

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'!
