Bug description:
  Please backport upstream sudo changeset 10917:50b988d0c97f "The fix
  for Bug #722 contained a typo/thinko that resulted in the" to xenial,
  yakkety, and zesty versions of sudo.

  This will fix a regression documented by this upstream bug report:
  https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/show_bug.cgi?id=784

  sudo 1.8.15 changeset 10229:153f016db8f1 "When the command sudo is
  running is killed by a signal, sudo will" introduced a regression
  where the exit status is always 0 when a command is killed by a signal
  other than SIGINT. https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/153f016db8f1

  This will be fixed in sudo 1.8.20 with changeset 10917:50b988d0c97f
  "The fix for Bug #722 contained a typo/thinko that resulted in the".
  https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/50b988d0c97f

  trusty sudo is based off sudo 1.8.9 and is not affected. xenial sudo
  based off sudo 1.8.16, yaketty sudo based off sudo 1.8.16, and zesty
  sudo based off 1.8.19 need the fix.
