 What's new in Sudo 1.8.6p6?
 
  * On systems where the controlling tty can be determined via /proc
-   or sysctl(), do not fall back to using ttyname() if there is no
-   controlling tty.
+   or sysctl(), sudo will no longer fall back to using ttyname()
+   if the process has no controlling tty.  This prevents sudo from
+   using a non-controlling tty for logging and time stamp purposes.
