Title:
The visudo command fails to read files passed via stdin
Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Expected output (as seen in 24.04, 25.04):
$ cat /etc/sudoers | visudo -c -f -
stdin: parsed OK
/etc/sudoers.d/90-cloud-init-users: parsed OK
/etc/sudoers.d/README: parsed OK
Actual output (as seen in 25.10):
$ cat /etc/sudoers | visudo -c -f -
visudo: unable to open -: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Ansible's community.general.sudoers module hits this bug because it
relies on sudo being able to consume stdin to do validation.
Bug is fixed upstream:
