1 Not sure how much testing anyone else has done (and it warrants more
2 testing), but I just tested this on a rather out-of-date machine
3 running hardened-sources-3.0.4 and sudo-1.8.2-r1. I had brute-force
4 prevention enabled, and not only was the vulnerability not successful,
5 I was locked out from all execution under my UID for 15 minutes -
6 couldn't even su over from root. Definite win for hardened!
