CentOS 7: CENTOS-2015-246 Important Update for Sudo Access Control

fedora
Calendar Grey May 24, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Core 3's patch enhances the functionality of the sudo command, streamlining permission settings for improved overall system administration.
Updated package.

Summary

Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain

users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands

as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a

per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features

include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a

per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear

audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo

command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers)

on many different machines.

- fix #154511 - sudo does not use limits.conf

- fix #144893 - sudo does not work with pam_tally correctly
