    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 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).
    Jan. 22, 2023 Evgeny Sinelnikov 1:1.9.12p2-alt1
    - Update to latest stable bugfix and security release (closes: 44965).
    - Fixed a compilation error on Linux/aarch64 (GitHub#197).
    - Fixed a potential crash introduced in the fix for (GitHub#134):
     + If a user's sudoers entry did not have any RunAs user's set, running
       "sudo -U otheruser -l" would dereference a NULL pointer.
    - Fixed a bug introduced in sudo 1.9.12 that could prevent sudo from creating
      a I/O files when the "iolog_file" sudoers setting contains six or more Xs.
    - Fixed security issue (fixes: CVE-2023-22809), a flaw in sudo's -e option (aka
      sudoedit) that could allow a malicious user with sudoedit privileges to edit
      arbitrary files.
