There was no formal announcement of version 1.6.7 due to a bug found
shortly after release.
Major changes since Sudo 1.6.7:
o Fixed false positives in the overflow detection of expand_prompt().
Major changes since Sudo 1.6.6:
o Wildcards now work correctly in an env_keep Defaults directive.
o The owner of the timestamp directory is now configurable.
o Sudo now supports the SecurID 5.0 API.
o Sudo now saves and restores the state of signal handlers.
This fixes a problem using sudo with the nohup command.
o Sudo now uses setresuid() if it exists to properly support the
stay_setuid Defaults directive.
o In strict mode sudo did not throw an error for undefined User_Aliases,
now it does.
o Write the prompt after turning off echo to avoid some password
characters being echoed on heavily-loaded machines with fast typists.
o Added %U and %H escapes in the prompt and fixed treatment of %%.
o Visudo will now add a final newline to sudoers if the user's editor
not add one before EOF.
o Added support for Defaults that apply based on the RunasUser.
o Sudo now includes copies of strlc{at,py} and uses them throughout.
o Sudo is now careful to avoid interger overflow when allocating
memory. This is one of those "should not happen" situations.
o Added a configure option (--with-stow) to make sudo compatible
with GNU stow.
o auth/kerb5.c now compiles under Heimdal.
o The volatile prefix is used in the hopes of preventing compilers
from optimizing away memory zeroing. Unfortunately, this results
in some warnings from gcc.
o The configure tests for Kerberos are much improved.
o A long-standing bug in the SIGCHLD handler was fixed.
o Added a --with-rpath configure option to pass the -R flag
along with -L to the linker. Enabled by default on Solaris and
SVR4.
o Added support for using the -blibpath ld option on AIX to add
directories to the shared lib search path. This is only active
when additional library paths are used. It may be disabled via
the --without-blibpath configure option.
o The --with-skey and --with-opie configure options now take
an optional directory argument that should have an include and
lib dir for the skey/opie include file and library respectively.
