Major changes between sudo 1.8.18b2 and 1.8.18b1:
* Fixed a use-after-free bug in visudo introduced in sudo 1.8.18b1.
* Fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.17 where the SIGPIPE signal handler
was not being restored when sudo directly executes the command.
Major changes between sudo 1.8.18b1 and 1.8.17p1:
* The sudoers locale is now set before parsing the sudoers file.
If sudoers_locale is set in sudoers, it is applied before
evaluating other Defaults entries. Previously, sudoers_locale
was used when evaluating sudoers but not during the inital parse.
Bug #748.
* A missing or otherwise invalid #includedir is now ignored instead
of causing a parse error.
* During "make install", backup files are only used on HP-UX where
it is not possible to unlink a shared object that is in use.
This works around a bug in ldconfig on Linux which could create
links to the backup shared library file instead of the current
one.
* Fixed a bug introduced in 1.8.17 where sudoers entries with long
commands lines could be truncated, preventing a match. Bug #752.
* The fqdn, runas_default and sudoers_locale Defaults settings are
now applied before any other Defaults settings since they can
change how other Defaults settings are parsed.
* On systems without the O_NOFOLLOW open(2) flag, when the NOFOLLOW
flag is set, sudoedit now checks whether the file is a symbolic link
before opening it as well as after the open. Bug #753.
* Sudo will now only resolve a user's group IDs to group names
when sudoers includes group-based permissions. Group lookups
can be expensive on some systems where the group database is
not local.
* If the file system holding the sudo log file is full, allow
the command to run unless the new ignore_logfile_errors Defaults
option is disabled. Bug #751.
* The ignore_audit_errors and ignore_iolog_errors Defaults options
have been added to control sudo's behavior when it is unable to
write to the audit and I/O logs.
