Comment on Bringing Memory Safety to sudo and suparent

Comments

Definitely one of the things that is on our radar! Lots of features in sudo are just basically legacy features, remnants from the 90s or 00s that are no longer necessary in a modern setup, but nevertheless exist because in past times they used to be the default or only option. We are particularly aware of how much power a suid binary has, so we do try to be cautious!
