Sudo version 1.6.9p18 is now available.

Major changes since Sudo 1.6.9p17:

 o Fixed a crash when the -i flag was used with a uid not in the password
   database.

 o Sudo now operates in the C locale again when doing a match against
   sudoers.

 o Fixed a potential crash when a glob matches a large number of files.

 o Fixed compilation problem with certain versions of Heimdal krb5 related
   to krb5_get_init_creds_opt_free().

 o When setting the umask, use the union of the user's umask and the
   default value set in sudoers so that we never lower the user's
   umask when running a command.

 o Sudo now supports 64-character host names.

 o Fixed a problem with the SELinux support for "sudo -l".

 o When doing a wildcard match against a filename, sudo will now only
   check the filesystem if the basename of the path matches, or if
   the basename itself contains wildcards.

 o Sudo will now unset the AUTHSTATE environment variable on AIX after
   authenticating.
