Synopsis: Low: sudo security, bug fix, and enhancement update Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:2593-2 Issue Date: 2016-11-03 CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-7091 -- Security Fix(es): * It was discovered that the default sudo configuration preserved the value of INPUTRC from the user's environment, which could lead to information disclosure. A local user with sudo access to a restricted program that uses readline could use this flaw to read content from specially formatted files with elevated privileges provided by sudo. (CVE-2016-7091) Note: With this update, INPUTRC was removed from the env_keep list in /etc/sudoers to avoid having sudo preserve the value of this variable when invoking privileged commands.
