Identifies the attempted use of a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability for the Sudo binary in Unix-like systems

This rule could generate false positives if the process arguments leveraged by the expoit are shared by custom

scripts using the Sudo or Sudoedit binaries. Only Sudo versions 1.8.2 through 1.8.31p2 and 1.9.0 through 1.9.5p1 are
