Hello all! The recently discovered vulnerability in sudo is making me nervous about my old systems. This may be unreasonable, as these systems have plenty of other vulnerabilities and I behave accordingly. However, sudo just seems like such a vital component, and this exploit particularly bad.
It doesn't look like MacPorts sudo has any dependencies, so how terrible of an idea would it be to just plop it in /usr/bin/? Do any obvious pitfalls come to mind, perhaps around configuration file paths? (I also of course realize this would be totally "unsupported", whatever that really means under the circumstances... 🙂) I could also just wait for Apple's next open source drop, and see if their patched sudo can be compiled to target older systems... better idea?
