RHBA-2013:0616 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
sudo bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated sudo packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
The sudo (superuser do) utility allows system administrators to give certain
users the ability to run commands as root.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- The "sudo -l" command did not parse the /etc/sudoers file correctly if it
contained an Active Directory (AD) group. The file was parsed only up to the
first AD group information and the command then failed with the following error
message:
sudo: unable to cache group ADDOM\admingroup, already exists
With this update, the underlying code has been modified so the "sudo -l" command
now parses the /etc/sudoers file as it is supposed to and no longer displays
this error message. (BZ#916220)
- Previously, sudo did not escape the backslash characters contained in user
names properly. Consequently, if a system used sudo integrated with LDAP or
Active Directory as the primary authentication mechanism, users were not able to
authenticate on that system. This patch modifies sudo to process LDAP and AD
names correctly and the authentication process now functions as expected.
(BZ#916232)
Users of sudo are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
