RHBA-2009:0263 - 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
An updated sudo package that fixes one bug is now available.
Description
The sudo (superuser do) utility allows system administrators to give
certain users the ability to run commands as root with logging.
This update fixes one bug:
- when run, the sudo command removes all but a small group of environment
variables. Previously, the Kerberos environment variable KRB5CCNAME was not
among the variables retained. This prevented Kerberos from working with
sudo when credentials not in the standard directory in /tmp were required.
For example, Kerberos could not be used with sudo in a Windows Active
Directory environment. Sudo now retains the KRB5CCNAME environment
variable, allowing Kerberos to work with sudo correctly.
All users of sudo should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
