Can we get a new version of sudo released in the toolbox_repo?

  • 1.  Can we get a new version of sudo released in the toolbox_repo?

    Posted 2 days ago

    We are experiencing issues with sudo where sudo sessions hangs and cause future sudo sessions from that user to hang until all sudo processes for that user to root are killed.  We believe that the updates to sudo in release 1.9.16 where they added this feature might be helpful.

    • When sudo runs a command in a pseudo-terminal and the user's terminal is revoked, the pseudo-terminal's foreground process group will now receive SIGHUP before the terminal is revoked. This emulates the behavior of the session leader exiting and is consistent with what happens when, for example, an ssh session is closed. GitHub issue #367.

    Can we get sudo 1.9.16 added to the toolbox_repo?

    Thanks,
