Probably only with severely niche libc. Is there any libc that allocates data with granularity smaller than 16 bytes?

  Very doubtful there is one. Seems like a total nothing burger

    Sudo is a security boundary, it has to be rock solid and an issue that doesn’t immediately look exploitable is still a big deal. Sudo runs under the control of the attacker, it’s playing with fire!

      Case in point: the whole speculative execution was only suspected to maybe be exploitable decades ago, and only now we have a bunch of PoCs

        ...which are still only useful under highly contrived conditions which require knowing so much about the target that it wouldn't be a practical concern.
