      Can we please stop talking about that sudo bug? It only affects systems using an insane configuration (allow $command as anyone *but* root). I can't come up with any situation where that configuration makes any sense (vs e.g. "allow $command as any member of a given group).

      I think the reason so many people are talking about it is that it's just weird. Sure, the security implications aren't that bad, but it's just a really weird bug.

      the original source that pimped it up said it was "a security bug where anyone could get root with sudo" and didnt clarify the config until they had shown you an ad or two

      HackersNews (note the plural) has *always* been shoddily researched clickbait

      Sure, it may not be factually wrong, but the title is very misleading. And nowhere in the article do you explain how small the actual security implications really are.

      The article is *more* confusing than the original vuln report, which clearly stated the vulnerable config. By dressing it up in all that superfluous info, you dilute the message of the limited impact. More info is appreciated *only* when you take care to keep the message clear.

      It only affects configurations that restrict access as root *but allow access as -1*, i.e. use ALL. The way you phrase it it sounds like it affects any config that allows access as a user or group that isn't root.

          Replying to @marcan42 @unix_root and

          You also mention "arbitrary commands" while any config that allows "arbitrary commands" as ALL, !root is already almost certainly vulnerable per se and a terrible idea and nobody should be doing that.

          Do you expect journalists to tell about ALL in the same line, expecting that everyone would immediately understand what we are taking about? If you carefully read the article, it has also been written for people who don't know what's Sudo, what's sudoers and ALL parameters.
