There's some advantage in using sudo, but only if you have a smaller
subset of users who need to map shares.

sudo still runs the broken mount.cifs as root which still doesn't
        check the users rights to a mount point properly or
        ask for the password before checking or
        check just before mounting the share as root
so all the user-accounts in your visudo group who can run mount.cifs
as root can map their shares over any directory.

I suppose a fix will be along sometime, in the meantime don't expect
to be too much safer.

Of course the real issue is *NIX's rudimentary authorization levels, root
or not root.
