Sudo: Heap-based overflow with small passwords
Sudo must be the program with the largest number of buffer overflows I’ve heard about. That news is repeating itself ever since I remember.Maybe a good time to plug doas, a simpler alternative to sudo from OpenBSD folks[1], developed partly due to security fears about sudo. It’s also been ported to Linux and is available in e.g. Alpine and Debian.[1]: https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/doas>
