    - CVE-2013-1775

sudo (1.8.6p3-0ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low

  * The latest sssd upload dropped the soname from libsss_sudo.so, so we
    can now drop our sudo delta and just use libsss_sudo.so directly.

sudo (1.8.6p3-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (1.8.6p3).

    additional build time or runtime dependency. sudo will dynamically load
    the sssd library if 'sss' is listed for the 'sudoers' nss service.

sudo (1.8.5p2-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

        actually enable it in both flavours.

        sudo package is installed.

        and if found installing the correct default /etc/sudoers file.
        Modified for updated default sudoers. Aproach taken is different
        from Debian. Maybe this should now be dropped, since an LTS was
        released.

  * Dropped changes:
    - debian/patches/CVE-2012-0809.patch:
      + dropped, included in this new upstream release.

      match behavior in sudoers file
    - don't install init script. Debian moved to /var/lib/sudo from
      /var/run/sudo, so Ubuntu's tmpfs usage won't clean those out
      automatically any more, so we now need the initscript.

sudo (1.7.2p7-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * new upstream release with security fix for secure path (CVE-2010-1646),
    closes: #585394

    /etc/nsswitch.conf, closes: #522065

    secure_path is disabled
    - CVE-2010-XXXX

sudo (1.7.2p1-1ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low

  * env.c: Revert addition of "http_proxy" again. This was an Ubuntu specific
    EBW hack, caused inconsistencies with other proxy variables (such as
    https_proxy and ftp_proxy), made sudo incompatible to upstream
    behaviour/documentation. This is solved in a much better way in apt itself
    and gnome-network-properties now. (LP: #432631)

sudo (1.7.2p1-1ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/sudo.postinst, debian/sudo-ldap.postinst: update description to

   - sudo.c: If the user successfully authenticated and he is in the 'admin'
     group, then create a stamp ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful. Our default bash
     profile checks for this and displays a short intro about sudo if the
     flag is not present. (Ubuntu specific)
   - env.c: Add "http_proxy" to initial_keepenv_table, so that it is kept
     for "sudo apt-get ...". (Ubuntu specific EBW hack, should disappear at
     some point)
   - debian/{rules,postinst,sudo-ldap.postinst}: Disable init script
     installation. Debian reintroduced it because /var/run tmpfs is not the
     default there, but has been on Ubuntu for ages.

sudo (1.7.2p1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * move init.d script from using rcS.d to rc[0-6].d, closes: #542924

  * improve initial sudoers by having the exemption for users in group
    sudo on by default, and including the ability to run any command as
    any user.  This makes the default install roughly equivalent to our
    old use of the --with-exempt=sudo build option, closes: #536220, #536222

sudo (1.7.0-1ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/{source_sudo.py,rules}: Add apport hook

sudo (1.7.0-1ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * env.c: add logic similar to pam_env's stripping of single and double
    quotes around /etc/environment env vars; fixes literal quotes in LANG when
    using sudo -i; LP: #387262.

sudo (1.7.0-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
   - debian/rules: Disable lecture, enable tty_tickets by default. (Ubuntu
     specific)
   - Add debian/sudo_root.8: Explanation of root handling through sudo.
     Install it in debian/rules. (Ubuntu specific)
   - sudo.c: If the user successfully authenticated and he is in the 'admin'
     group, then create a stamp ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful. Our default bash
     profile checks for this and displays a short intro about sudo if the
     flag is not present. (Ubuntu specific)
   - env.c: Add "http_proxy" to initial_keepenv_table, so that it is kept
     for "sudo apt-get ...". (Ubuntu specific EBW hack, should disappear at
     some point)
   - debian/{rules,postinst,sudo-ldap.postinst}: Disable init script
     installation. Debian reintroduced it because /var/run tmpfs is not the
     default there, but has been on Ubuntu for ages.

sudo (1.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version, closes: #510179, #128268, #520274, #508514

    a symlink in postinst and cleaning it up in postrm for the sudo-ldap
    package, closes: #430826

    instance too, closes: #479616

sudo (1.6.9p15-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * revert the fix for 388659 such that visudo once again defaults to using
    /usr/bin/editor.  I was always ambivalent about this change, it has caused
    more confusion and frustration than it cured, and I find Justin's line of
    reasoning persuasive.  Update the man page source to reflect this choice
    and the related use of --with-env-editor.  Closes: #474197.
  * patch from Petter Reinholdtsen to improve init.d, closes: #475821

sudo (1.6.9p15-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * remove pointless postrm scripts, leaving debhelper do its thing if needed,
    thanks to Justin Pryzby for pointing this out
  * reinstate the init.d, since bootclean doesn't quite do what we want.  This
    also means we don't need the preinst scripts any more.  Update the lintian
    overrides since postinst is a Perl script lintian apparently isn't parsing
    well.  closes: #330868

sudo (1.6.9p12-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version, closes: #464890

    Patrick Schoenfeld (recommend upstream accept it too) that adds a %p and
    uses it by default, closes: #454409
  * accept patch from Martin Pitt that adds a prerm making it difficult to
    "accidentally" remove sudo when there is no root password set on the
    system, closes: #451241

sudo (1.6.9p9-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version

    reduce confusion when using sudo to invoke commands which also ask for
    passwords, closes: #343268
  * auth/pam.c: don't use the PAM prompt if the user explicitly requested
    a custom prompt, closes: #448628.
  * fix configure's ability to discover that libc has dirfd, closes: #451324
  * make default editor be /usr/bin/vi instead of /usr/bin/editor, so that
    the command 'visudo' invokes a vi variant by default as documented,
    closes: #388659

  * add sandwich cartoon URL to the README.Debian
  * don't remove sudoers on purge.  can cause problems when moving between
    sudo and sudo-ldap.  leaving sudoers around on purge seems like the least
    evil choice for now, closes: #401366
  * also preserve XAPPLRESDIR, XFILESEARCHPATH, and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH,
    closes: #374509
  * accept patch that improves debian/rules from Ted Percival, closes: #382122
  * no longer build with --with-exempt=sudo, provide an example entry in the
    default sudoers file instead, closes: #296605

  * add env_reset to the sudoers file we create if none already exists,
    as a further precaution in response to discussion about CVS-2005-4158
  * split ldap support into a new sudo-ldap package.  I was trying to avoid
    doing this, but the impact of going from 4 to 17 linked shlibs on the
    autobuilder chroots is sufficient motivation for me.

sudo (1.6.8p9-4) unstable; urgency=low

sudo (1.6.8p3-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Jeff Bailey reports that seteuid works on current sparc systems, so we
    no longer need the "grosshack" stuff in the sudo rules file
  * add a postrm that removes /etc/sudoers on purge.  don't do this with the
    normal conffile mechanism since it would generate noise on every upgrade,
    closes: #245405

sudo (1.6.7p5-1) unstable; urgency=low

sudo (1.6.7p3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * add code to rules file to update config.sub/guess, closes: #164501

sudo (1.6.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * adopt suggestion from Marcus Brinkmann to feed --with-sendmail option to
    configure, and lose the build dependency on mail-transport-agent

  * stop setting /usr/doc symlink in postinst

sudo (1.6.6-1.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * NMU - patch from Colin Watson <email address hidden>, in bts.
  * Revert patch to auth/pam.c that left pass uninitialized, causing a
    segfault (Closes: #144665).

sudo (1.6.6-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * new upstream version, fixes security problem with crafty prompts,
    closes: #144540

sudo (1.6.5p1-4) unstable; urgency=high

  * apply patch for auth/pam.c to fix yet another way to make sudo segfault
    if ctrl/C'ed at password prompt, closes: #131235

sudo (1.6.5p1-3) unstable; urgency=high

  * ugly hack to add --disable-saved-ids when building on sparc in response
    to 131592, which will be reassigned to glibc for a real fix
  * urgency high since the sudo currently in testing for sparc is worthless

sudo (1.6.5p1-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * fix spelling error in init.d, closes: #126847

sudo (1.6.3p7-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * use touch to set status files to an ancient date instead of removing them
    outright on reboot.  this achieves the desired effect of keeping elevated
    privs from living across reboots, without forcing everyone to see the
    new-sudo-user lecture after every reboot.  pick a time that's 'old enough'
    for systems with good clocks, and 'recent enough' that broken PC hardware
    setting the clock to commonly-seen bogus dates trips over the "don't trust
    future timestamps" rule.  closes: #76529, #123559
  * apply patch from Steve Langasek to fix seg faults due to interaction with
    PAM code.  upstream confirms the problem, and says they're fixing this
    differently for their next release... but this should be useful in the
    meantime, and would be good to get into woody.  closes: #119147
  * only run the init.d at boot, not on each runlevel change... and don't run
    it during package configure.  closes: #125935
  * add DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS support to rules file, closes: #94952

sudo (1.6.3p7-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * apply patch from Fumitoshi UKAI that fixes segfaults when hostname not
    resolvable, closes: #86062, #69430, #77852, #82744, #55716, #56718,
  * fix a typo in the manpage, closes: #97368
  * apply patch to configure.in and run autoconf to fix problem building on
    the hurd, closes: #96325
  * add an init.d to clean out /var/run/sudo at boot, so privs are guaranteed
    to not last across reboots, closes: #76529
  * clean up lintian-noticed cosmetic packaging issues

sudo (1.6.3p7-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * update config.sub/guess for hppa support

sudo (1.6.3p7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version
  * add build dependency on mail-transport-agent, closes: #90685

sudo (1.6.3p6-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * new upstream version, fixes buffer overflow problem,
    closes: #87259, #87278, #87263
  * revert to using --with-secure-path option at build time, since the option
    available in sudoers is parsed too late to be useful, and upstream says
    it won't get fixed quickly.  This reopens 85123, which I will mark as
    forwarded.  Closes: #86199, #86117, #85676

sudo (1.6.3p5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * lose the dh_suidregister call since it's obsolete
  * stop using the --with-secure-path option at build time, and instead show
    how to set it in sudoers.  Closes: #85123
  * freshen config.sub and config.guess for ia64 and hppa
  * update sudoers man page to indicate exempt_group is on by default,
    closes: #70847

sudo (1.6.3p5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version, closes: #63940, #59175, #61817, #64652, #65743
  * this version restores core dumps before the exec, while leaving them
    disabled during sudo's internal execution, closes: #58289
  * update debhelper calls in rules file

sudo (1.6.2p2-1) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream source resulting from direct collaboration with the upstream
    author to fix ugly pam-related problems on Debian in 1.6.1 and later.
    Closes: #56129, #55978, #55979, #56550, #56772
  * include more upstream documentation, closes: #55054
  * pam.d fragment update, closes: #56129

sudo (1.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream source, closes: #52750

sudo (1.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * drop suidregister support for this package.  The sudo executable is
    essentially worthless unless it is setuid root, and making suidregister
    work involves shipping a non-setuid executable in the .deb and setting the
    perms in the postinst.  On a long upgrade run, this can leave the sudo
    executable 'broken' for a long time, which is unacceptable.  With this
    version, we ship the executable setuid root in the .deb.  Closes: #51742

sudo (1.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version, many options previously set at compile-time are now
    configurable at runtime.
    Closes: #39255, #20996, #29812, #50705, #49148, #48435, #47190, #45639

  * new upstream version

sudo (1.5.8p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream version, closes 33690
  * add dependency on libpam-modules, closes 34215, 33432

sudo (1.5.7p4-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * update the pam fragment provided so that sudo works with latest pam bits,
    closes 33432

sudo (1.5.7p4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream release

sudo (1.5.6p5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream patch release
  * add PAM support, closes 28594

sudo (1.5.6p2-2) unstable; urgency=low

sudo (1.5.4-4) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * update postinst to use groupadd, closes 21403
  * move the suidregister stuff earlier in postinst to ensure it always runs

sudo (1.5.4-3) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * change /etc/sudoers from a conffile to being handled in postinst,
    closes 18219
  * add suidmanager support, closes 15711
  * add '-Wno-comment' to quiet warnings from gcc upstream maintainer is
    unlikely to ever fix, and which just don't matter.  closes 17146
  * fix FSF address in copyright file, and submit exception for lintian
    warning about sudo being setuid root

sudo (1.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * patch from upstream author correcting/improving security fix

sudo (1.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * new upstream version, includes a security fix
  * change default editor from /bin/ae to /usr/bin/editor

sudo (1.5.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream version, closes bug 15911.
  * rules file reworked to use debhelper
  * implement a really gross hack to force use of the sudo-provided
    lsearch(), since the one in libc6 is broken!  This closes bugs
    12552, 12557, 14881, 15259, 15916.

sudo (1.5.2-6) unstable; urgency=LOW

  * don't install INSTALL in the doc directory, closes bug 13195.

sudo (1.5.2-5) unstable; urgency=LOW

  * libc6

sudo (1.5.2-4) unstable; urgency=LOW

  * change TIMEOUT (how long before you have to type your password again)
    to 15 mins, disable PASSWORD_TIMEOUT.  This makes building large Debian
    packages on slower machines much more tolerable.  Closes bug 9076.
  * touch debian/suid before debstd.  Closes bug 8709.

sudo (1.5.2-3) frozen unstable; urgency=LOW

  * patch from upstream maintainer to close Bug 6828
  * add a debian/suid file to get debstd to leave my perl postinst alone

sudo (1.5.2-2) frozen unstable; urgency=LOW

  * change rules to use -O2 -Wall as per standards

sudo (1.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=LOW

  * new upstream version
  * cosmetic changes to debian package control files

sudo (1.5-2) unstable; urgency=LOW

  * add /usr/X11R6/bin to the end of the secure path... this makes it
    much easier to run xmkmf, etc., during package builds.  To the extent
    that /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin were already included, I see
    no security reasons not to add this.

sudo (1.5-1) unstable; urgency=LOW

  * New upstream version
  * New maintainer
  * New packaging format

sudo: Provide limited super user privileges to specific users

 Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
 privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give
 as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.
 .
 This version is built with minimal shared library dependencies, use the
 sudo-ldap package instead if you need LDAP support for sudoers.
