I cannot answer this questions and apologize for the long time it took to reply. However, in August 2017, with sudo 1.8.21-1, /var/lib/sudo was moved to /run/sudo, the init script now has code to make sure that the mode is 711, and on systemd systems, the tmpfiles.d mechanism is used to create the file on system boot with the correct owner and mode. Can you please check whether your concerns still apply and indicate whether this issue can be closed? If you don't reply, I plan to close this bug by the end of June 2021. Greetings Marc
