    Summary: Allows command execution as another user
    Description: 
    Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
    privileges to users and log root activity.  The basic philosophy is
    to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get
    their work done.

    - Update to latest stable bugfix and security release (fixes: CVE-2023-42465):
     + The sudoers plugin has been modified to make it more resilient to ROWHAMMER
       attacks on authentication and policy matching.
     + The sudoers plugin now constructs the user time stamp file path name using
       the user-ID instead of the user name. This avoids a potential problem with
       user names that contain a path separator ('/') being interpreted as part of
       the path name. A similar issue in sudo-rs has been assigned CVE-2023-42456.
    - Fixes in behavior:
     + The visudo utility will no longer create an empty file when the specified
       sudoers file does not exist and the user exits the editor without making any
       changes (GitHub#294).
     + Fixed a bug where output could go to the wrong terminal if "use_pty" is
       enabled (the default) and the standard input, output or error is redirected
       to a different terminal. Bug #1056.
     + A path separator ('/') in a user, group or host name is now replaced with an
       underbar character ('_') when expanding escapes in @include and @includedir
       directives as well as the "iolog_file" and "iolog_dir" sudoers Default
       settings.
    - Fixes in user output:
     + Running "sudo -ll command" now produces verbose output that includes matching
       rule as well as the path to the sudoers file the matching rule came from.
     + Changes to terminal settings are now performed atomically, where possible.
       If the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal and the user's terminal is
       already in raw mode, sudo will not change the user's terminal settings. This
       prevents concurrent sudo processes from restoring the terminal settings to
       the wrong values (GitHub#312).
     + Better log message when rejecting a command if the "intercept" option is
       enabled and the "intercept_allow_setid" option is disabled. Previously,
       "command not allowed" would be logged and the user had no way of knowing
       what the actual problem was.
    - Fixes in logging:
     + The sudoers source is now logged in the JSON event log. This makes it
       possible to tell which rule resulted in a match.
     + Sudo will now log the invoking user's environment as "submitenv" in the JSON
       logs. The command's environment ("runenv") is no longer logged for commands
       rejected by the sudoers file or an approval plugin.
     + The sudo_logsrvd server will now raise its open file descriptor limit to the
       maximum allowed value when it starts up. Each connection can require up to
       nine open file descriptors so the default soft limit may be too low.
    - Fixed regressions:
     + Fixed the warning message for "sudo -l command" when the command is not
       permitted. There was a missing space between "list" and the actual command
       due to changes in sudo 1.9.14.
     + The "intercept_verify" sudoers option is now only applied when the
       "intercept" option is set in sudoers. Previously, it was also applied when
       "log_subcmds" was enabled. Sudo 1.9.14 contained an incorrect fix for this.
     + Reverted a change from sudo 1.9.4 that resulted in PAM session modules being
       called with the environment of the command to be run instead of the
       environment of the invoking user (GitHub#318).

    - Update to latest stable release with regressions fixes.
    - Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.14 that affects matching sudoers rules
      containing a Runas_Spec with an empty Runas user.
    - Fixed a problem with "stair-stepped" output when piping or redirecting the
      output of a sudo command that takes user input.
    - Fixed a crash introduced in version 1.9.14 when running a command with a NULL
      argv[0] if "log_subcmds" or "intercept" is enabled in sudoers.
    - Adapted the sudo Python plugin test output to match Python 3.12.
