I'm not sure this really qualifies as a security bug, because you
explicitly allow some privilege escalation by setting a user as not
requiring a password to login. And for an admin that is aware of this
problem there are a couple of ways to keep the "no password" login but
have a safe sudo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Sudo

As sudo has already the capacity to wipe the timestamp with "sudo -k" I
think this is more an issue of gnome-session calling this command on
logout. I'm therefore adding the gnome-session package to this bug.
