apps-base/sudo upgraded from 1.8.17p1 to 1.8.20p1 to fix CVE-2017-1000367, a
	security vulnerability in which a user with sudo access could trick sudo
	into using an arbitrary device number (i.e. an arbitrary tty instead of
	the one the user is actually using) via a specially crafted symbolic 
	link. For more information see:
		https://www.sudo.ws/alerts/linux_tty.html
