An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available. It includes one version update.

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
