I thought that this security bulletin had a certain level of irony
worth sharing:
Subject: [gentoo-announce] [ GLSA 201207-01 ] sudo: Privilege escalation
A vulnerability has been found in sudo which may allow local users to
gain escalated privileges.
Obviously this is referring to an _unintended_ privilege escalation,
but of course the whole point of sudo is to give local users escalated
privileges...
