 There is a hard-coded list of editors that \fBvisudo\fR will use set

+\&\f(CW\*(C`Default\*(C'\fR variable.  
+On Debian systems, this list defaults to /usr/bin/editor, which is meant to
+be a system-wide default editor chosen through the alternatives system.
+Normally, \&\fBvisudo\fR does not honor the \f(CW\*(C`VISUAL\*(C'\fR or 
+\f(CW\*(C`EDITOR\*(C'\fR environment
 variables unless they contain an editor in the aforementioned editors
 list.  However, if \fBvisudo\fR is configured with the \fI\-\-with\-enveditor\fR
 flag or the \fIenv_editor\fR \f(CW\*(C`Default\*(C'\fR variable is set in \fIsudoers\fR,
 \&\fBvisudo\fR will use any the editor defines by \f(CW\*(C`VISUAL\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`EDITOR\*(C'\fR.
 Note that this can be a security hole since it allows the user to
 execute any program they wish simply by setting \f(CW\*(C`VISUAL\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`EDITOR\*(C'\fR.
+Despite this potential risk, sudo on Debian is compiled with the
