Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sudo

Hi,

After todays update I have a strange sudo problem that needs to be
solved:

if you enter a sudo command like this...

# sudo ... &

...and you did not login before via sudo your password is written on the
screen if you type it and all fails.

If you do it with out the '&' it works normally
# sudo ... 
[sudo] password for me: 

So if you do not play attention and just look at your keyboard while
typing, like I do ;-), you just reveal your password!
