Package: sudo Version: 1.8.5p2-1 Severity: normal I had a script (that used to work on some older version of sudo) doing the equivalent of:
sudo -u ultrotter -i "echo ciao && whoami" ciao ultrotter This worked eg. on Sudo version 1.7.2p1 Nowadays it does parse the command as one single command: sudo -u ultrotter -i "echo foo && whoami" -bash: echo foo && whoami: command not found Of course for any normal command all works by removing the quotes, but it seems to be that there's not anymore a way to pass && or || to an interactive sudo command (although bash -c ... will work) because there's no way to excape them from the shell in which sudo is executed, but not from the shell that sudo executes.
