Description Bdale Garbee 2020-03-19 15:56:28 MDT

A patch got submitted to the Debian BTS with the following text:

Entries in sudoers files that include * do not behave like shell globs.
When mistakenly used in the argument list it can expand to protected
content, such as /etc/shadow. Most users do not expect this.

This patch adds regex style matching to sudoers to improve security and
tighten the available input.
