RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: sudo-1.8.29-1.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.`sudo` rebased to 1.8.29-3.el8 `sudo` packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.29-3, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. The major changes introduced by the new version are: * `sudo` now writes Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) messages to the user's terminal, if available, instead of the standard output or standard error output. This prevents possible confusion of PAM output and command output sent to files and pipes. * The `notBefore` and `notAfter` options from LDAP and SSSD now work and display correctly with the `sudo -l` command. * The `cvtsudoers` command now rejects non-LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) input when converting from LDIF to `sudoers` and JSON formats. * With the new `log_allowed` and `log_denied` settings for `sudoers`, you can disable logging and auditing of allowed and denied commands. * You can now use `sudo` with the `-g` option to specify a group that matches any of the target user’s groups even if no groups are present in the `runas_spec` specification. Previously, you could only do so if the group matched the target user’s primary group. * Fixed a bug that prevented `sudo` from matching the host name to the value of `ipa_hostname` from `sssd.conf`, if specified. * A vulnerability that allowed a `sudo` user to run a command as root when the `Runas` specification disallowed `root` access with the `ALL` keyword is now fixed (CVE-2019-14287). * The use of unknown user and group IDs for permissive `sudoers` entries, for example using the ALL keyword, is now disabled. You can enable it with the `runas_allow_unknown_id` setting (CVE-2019-19232).

Comment 1 Thomas Gardner 2019-07-29 20:15:54 UTC 
I'd like to add that we have a customer who has a specific need that will be addressed by this.  In particular, from the release notes upstream, in the section "Major changes between version 1.8.26 and 1.8.25p1" there is a line:

--->8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8---
        Fixed a bug in the sudoers LDAP back-end parsing the command_timeout, role, type, privs and limitprivs sudoOptions. This also affected cvtsudoers conversion from LDIF to sudoers or JSON.
--->8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8------>8---

which the customer seems to be indicating is their primary issue.  The upstream maintainer told me that https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/10f8cff7cce7 was the change that addressed that particular problem.

I can submit a separate BZ just for that issue, however the customer seems to prefer a rebase anyway.  The customer has already downloaded the latest source (1.8.27 as of this writing), built it, and tested it themselves, and reports this does seem to fix their issue.

Let me know if I should file a separate BZ to just get that one patch backported instead of attaching to this BZ.
