 What's new in Sudo 1.7.10?
 
+ * Sudo is now built with the -fstack-protector flag if the the
+   compiler supports it.  Also, the -zrelro linker flag is used if
+   supported.  The --disable-hardening configure option can be used
+   to build sudo without stack smashing support.
+
  * If the user is a member of the "exempt" group in sudoers, they
    will no longer be prompted for a password even if the -k flag
    is specified with the command.  This makes "sudo -k command"
