[Bug 1607666] [NEW] sudo fails with host netgroup returned from freeipa

[Florian Apolloner]

Public bug reported:

Sudo currently fails to validate netgroups against host netgroups
returned from the sss plugin, see
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/6139 for the glory details.

This was fixed in sudo 1.8.17
(https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/2eab4070dcf7 to be exact), which I'd
very much like to see backported to Ubuntu 16.04. If possible, updating
sudo completely to 1.8.17 would be nice, since there have been quite a
few improvements with regards to sss and freeipa and it would be a shame
if we could not benefit from them given that 16.04 is LTS.
