Public bug reported:
Summary:
Executing a sudo (that does not require a password) in a /bin/bash script
leaves the terminal as though it is reading a password (-echo, -icrnl, -ixon,
-opost, -isig, -icanon, -iexten)
To recreate the problem: (See attached log)
In a fresh install of 22.04.1 (desktop, minimal, do not load updates, no
update done beyond iso data, running under Virtualbox on a Mac), I set
up a new user that can run "sudo sleep" without a password. In a
Terminal, I demonstrate this, running "stty -a" before and after the
"sudo sleep". Then I create a bash script with those same commands.
When that script is run, the stty after the "sudo sleep" shows that the
state of the terminal has been altered (-echo, etc.)
The log starts immediately after the reboot after installing 22.04.1. I
decline to do the update when it is offered. (The bug appears even if I
do the update on 22.04.1, but I decline the update to make sure this is
repeatable.)
Basically, the steps are
Create user "testuser"
Add a file to /etc/sudoers.d that gives testuser sudo privs, with no password
required for sleep. (nor for "grep", but I dropped the use of grep in the demo)
su - testuser
Interactively, in the terminal, I show that "sudo sleep 30 &" does not mess
with the terminal settings.
I create a /bin/bash script that includes the same commands (stty -a; sudo
sleep 10 &; sleep 3; stty -a)
I execute the script, which alters the terminal settings.(Quite visible on
the Terminal; not as easily visible in the log file.)
I expect the second "stty -a" to be the same as the first.
I originally saw the bug in 20.04.5 (repeatable but on someone else's
computer) for "sudo tcpdump" but wasn't able to reproduce it in a fresh
install.
