Public bug reported:
An SSH terminal into an Ubuntu server (tested on 18.04.5) hangs running
a command using 'sudo' when 'use_pty' is set in /etc/sudoers.
Steps to reproduce ('sudo' version --> 1.8.21p2-3ubuntu1.2):
1) Log in into an Ubuntu server (tested on 18.04.5 using SSH)
2) Ensure that /etc/sudoers has the following line (add this line if not
present)
Defaults use_pty
3) Execute the following:
for i in {1..10}; do sudo -- cat /var/log/syslog; done
The terminal hangs and the following backtrace is obtained:
