Package: sudo Version: 1.8.3p2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The sudo manpage, in the SECURITY NOTES section, mentions that: the actual PATH environment variable is not modified and is passed unchanged to the program that sudo executes Whether this is true, however, depends on the configuration (i.e. 'secure path'). The docs should mention that.
