I suggest all to update as soon as possible (update OS if no fix is available)
For OmniOS (151030-151036) a fix is available now.

To install the update enter the following
# pkg update sudo omnios-userland entire

To test if you are affected by the bug:
enter "sudoedit -s /"

if you are affected, the answer should begin with "sudoedit:" (what I have read)
