Today, 31 May 2005, I found error with root privilige escalation in
Sudo version 1.6.8p7 that package installed with SuSE 9.3. Testing in
my machine, sudo appear not check is true when I press CTRL + C with
blank password and giving status SID as root privilige to SID user. I
got successful as root without need a password but only use blank
password and press CTRL + C. Please check my testing below in my SuSE
9.3 box:
