Title:
  [gusty] [sudo command &] shows password!

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  Hi,

  After todays update I have a strange sudo problem that needs to be
  solved:

  if you enter a sudo command like this...

  # sudo ... &

  ...and you did not login before via sudo your password is written on
  the screen if you type it and all fails.

  If you do it with out the '&' it works normally
  # sudo ... 
  [sudo] password for me: 

  So if you do not play attention and just look at your keyboard while
  typing, like I do ;-), you just reveal your password!
