It does.. from 'man sudo'
sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the
superuser or another user, as specified in the sudoers
file.
The man page for sudoers(5) goes into (a lot of) detail on configuring sudo
to allow users to run programs as other users, without prompting for
passwords, etc.

The error message means the process received an ABRT signal from somewhere.
It is more likely the fault of the application, not the cron daemon. Can
you, from an interactive shell, su to the user in question and run the exact
command line you entered into the crontab? What program are you trying to
run? Does anything odd show up in the syslogs at the time the cron is
scheduled to run your job?
