Probably worth noting in the context of this sudo flaw, this is why diversity in operating systems and software is useful. OpenBSD uses its own privilege escalation program (doas) and is not affected by this flaw. A good mix of OSes and software helps prevent a single flaw from impacting as widely. This is part of the motivation behind my interest in things like musl libc.
