It looks like upstream is fixing this with
https://git.sudo.ws/sudo/commit/?id=ff0b6bebceec5c7d01fd296300125d51325c6ff4
so maybe no need for the release-notes to add and then delete it?
Yes, right. The patch applies cleanly to what we have in Trixie, so I
can go with a stable point release update. Unupdated trixie will still
be affected, so it might make sense to have the release note anyway.
However, this seems to be something to do with : being interpreted as
a list (sometimes?), which might make the release-notes on its own --
this seems missing from sudoers(5) in trixie
(i wonder if this is going to cause other surprising changes, where
the user asks for "A:B" but sudo silently uses A and B. this all
seems like needless complexity to me. and how can the user put a file
with : in a list?)
At the moment I cannot comment on this.
Greetings
