====== Linux - Sudo - Sudoers - Run Sudo Command Using a pty ======

A few times, attackers can run a malicious program (such as a virus or malware) using sudo, which would again fork a background process that remains on the user’s terminal device even when the main program has finished executing.

To avoid such a scenario, you can configure sudo to run other commands only from a psuedo-pty using the use_pty parameter, whether I/O logging is turned on or not as follows:

<code>
Defaults  use_pty
</code>
