    Description:


    This update fixes a security problem in sudo:

    Multiple netmask values used in Host / Host_List
    configuration caused any host to be allowed access.
    (CVE-2012-2337)

    Also a bug in wildcard matching could allow too relaxed
    matches within subdirectories of the specified path so
    /usr/bin/* would also match /usr/bin/X11/*, which is
    probably not intended. The behaviour was aligned to the
    one described in the sudoers manpage
