CVE-2008-3067

Published: 7 July 2008

sudo in SUSE openSUSE 10.3 does not clear the stdin buffer when password entry times out, which might allow local users to obtain a password by reading stdin from the parent process after a sudo child process exits.

Notes

AuthorNote

could not reproduce on Dapper or Gutsy, which predated the patch.
I think this is a stand-alone vs PAM issue, and Debian/Ubuntu uses PAM.
