An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for sudo provides the following fix:

  • Cache resolved group names as calling getgrgid() is expensive and on systems connected to AD with many users, groups or sudo rules it causes sudo to take a long time to run. (bsc#1068003)
  • Disable insults by default at build time. For new installations this was done via sudoers file, but when upgrading from previous versions it would accidentally be enabled. (bsc#1053911)
  • Enable support for zlib compressed I/O logs. (bsc#1058297)
