their work done.

April 17, 2023 Evgeny Sinelnikov 1:1.9.13p3-alt1
- Update to latest stable release with regressions.
- Fixed a bug that could cause sudo to hang when running a command
  in a pseudo-terminal when there is still input buffered after a
  command has exited.
- Fixed regressions in sudo 1.9.13:
 + Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.13 that caused a syntax error
   when "list" was used as a user or host name (GitHub #246).
 + Fixed "sudo -U otheruser -l command" (GitHub #248).
 + Fixed "sudo -l command args" when matching a command in sudoers
   with command line arguments (GitHub #249).
Feb. 27, 2023 Evgeny Sinelnikov 1:1.9.13p2-alt1
- Update to latest stable release.
- Fix run_time message validation in logsrvd.
- Fixed a potential double-free bug when matching a sudoers rule
  that contains a per-command chroot directive (CHROOT=dir).
Feb. 20, 2023 Evgeny Sinelnikov 1:1.9.13p1-alt1
- Update to latest stable release.
- Fixed potential memory leaks in error paths (GitHub#199, GitHub#202).
- Fixed potential NULL dereferences on memory allocation failure (GitHub#204,
  GitHub#211).
- A missing include file in sudoers is no longer a fatal error
  unless the error_recovery plugin argument has been set to false.
- Fixed a bug running relative commands via sudo when "log_subcmds"
  is enabled (GitHub#194).
- Fixed a signal handling bug when running sudo commands in a shell
  script.  Signals were not being forwarded to the command when
  the sudo process was not run in its own process group.
- Added a reminder to the default lecture that the password will
  not echo. This line is only displayed when the pwfeedback option
  is disabled (GitHub#195).
- Regular expressions in sudoers or logsrvd.conf may no longer contain
  consecutive repetition operators.  This is implementation-specific behavior
  according to POSIX, but some implementations will allocate excessive amounts
  of memory. This mainly affects the fuzzers.
- Sudo no longer checks the ownership and mode of the plugins that it loads.
  Plugins are configured via either the sudo.conf or sudoers file which are
  trusted configuration files.
- Fixed a bug executing a command with a very long argument vector when
  "log_subcmds" or "intercept" is enabled on a system where "intercept_type"
  is set to "trace" (GitHub#194).
