Package: kdesu
Version: 5.93.0-1
Severity: serious
kdesu fails to authenticate with sudo from testing/unstable.
Examples: launching ksystemlog from the main menu, or trying to run
krusader root mode option via its 'Tools > Start Krusader Root Mode'
menu entry. Assuming that the current user is a member of the sudo group.
On entering the correct password authentication is refused, stating that
possibly an incorrect password has been entered.
It appears that kdesu fails to cope with the sudo config CVE fix in this
commit:

KDE bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452532
The issue can be worked around by adding /etc/sudoers.d/kdesu with the
contents
Defaults!/usr/lib/*/libexec/kf5/kdesu_stub !use_pty
