Enable Intel CET on amd64 only (!24) · Merge requests · Sudo Maintainers / sudo

Marcos Del Sol requested to merge socram/sudo:bookworm into bookworm Sep 01, 2025

Sudo is currently broken on Geode and Vortex i686 due to the usage of Intel CET, which is not supported at all by the Linux kernel in 32-bit x86 (neither in pure 32-bit nor when running 32-bit under a 64-bit kernel)

With this new patch, CET is only enabled for 64-bit, fixing https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1043281.

It has been already accepted in upstream: https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/pull/468
