Description Evangelos Foutras 2015-07-17 13:39:28 MDT

According to a downstream report in Arch Linux, SSSD support is broken in sudo 1.8.14. [1]

The user who requested to enable SSSD support in our Arch Linux package posted the following error messages:

  sudo: sudo_sss_attrcpy: unable to allocate memory
  sudo: sudo_sss_rulecpy: unable to allocate memory

He also reports that 1.8.13 built with the same options works fine.

On a side note, http://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo is returning an error, so I can't browse the history for 1.8.13..1.8.14 to see if there are any relevant changes.
