- Prevent crashes of statically linked binaries using getpwuid when sssd is used and nscd is turned off or has caching disabled. (bsc#993582)

- Add logrotate configuration to prevent log files from growing too large when running with debug mode enabled.

- Order sudo rules by the same logic used by the native LDAP support from sudo. (bsc#1002973)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
