RHBA-2017:2595 - sudo bug fix update
Synopsis
sudo bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated sudo packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The sudo packages contain the sudo utility which allows system administrators to provide certain users with the permission to execute privileged commands, which are used for system management purposes, without having to log in as root.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the libsudo_util.so library was included in the file list of the sudo-devel subpackage. As a consequence, sudo-devel had incorrect dependencies, which under certain circumstances caused upgrading the sudo packages to fail. To fix this bug, libsudo_util.so has been moved to the main sudo package. As a result, the sudo-devel package no longer requires the libsudo_util.so, and thus does not prevent upgrading the sudo packages. (BZ#1482929)
Users of sudo are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
