## This restricts the file permissions of the sudo executable so that a vulnerability
## in the program will not be exploitable by any users not in the "sudo" group. sudo
## is a very complex program and is setuid so vulnerabilities in it can allow privilege
## escalation, regardless of other root access restrictions. For example, the following
## buffer overflow vulnerability could have been exploited by any user on the system:
## https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/01/26/3
## With this restriction, only users explicitly permitted to use sudo by being added to
## the "sudo" group could exploit such vulnerabilities. For example, this would prevent a
## compromised network-facing daemon (such as web servers, time synchronization daemons,
## etc.) running as its own user from exploiting sudo to escalate privileges.
