   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
