Subject: [PATCH] Fix CVE-2022-43995, potential heap overflow for passwords < 8
 characters. Starting with sudo 1.8.0 the plaintext password buffer is
 dynamically sized so it is not safe to assume that it is at least 9 bytes in
 size. Found by Hugo Lefeuvre (University of Manchester) with ConfFuzz.
