** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Won't Fix

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: sudo
  
  When using keys to connect via ssh to a server, and issuing the command
  'ssh someu...@somehost sudo somecommand', the password prompt which
  appears to ask for the sudo password displays the password on the
  screen, rather than hiding it. This puts your password at risk of being
  compromised by anyone who happens to be looking over your shoulder.
+ 
+ (SOLUTION: use "-t" with ssh, see
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#SSH )
