Security Fix(es):
* It was discovered that the default sudo configuration preserved the value
of INPUTRC from the user's environment, which could lead to information
disclosure. A local user with sudo access to a restricted program that uses
readline could use this flaw to read content from specially formatted files
with elevated privileges provided by sudo. (CVE-2016-7091)
Note: With this update, INPUTRC was removed from the env_keep list in
/etc/sudoers to avoid having sudo preserve the value of this variable when
invoking privileged commands.
Red Hat would like to thank Grisha Levit for reporting this issue.
