Oh ****... Sudo has a 'make anyone root' bug that needs to be patched – if you're unlucky enough to enable pwfeedback

Thanks.

I'm probably a bit older on that version. Though I have done updates at times. Will check the folders.

Irritating such a simple feature gets a buffer overload. Could they not just match keypresses to * without passing the actual characters (to the faulty pwfeedback)? Faulty by design IMO, as my bro in the field says "if the data is never there, you can never accidentally leak it!"
