Hi

sudo 1.8.20p2 fixes an issue in parsing /proc/[pid]/stat when the
process name contains a newline.

The bug is not exploitable due to the changes in how /dev is traversed
made in sudo 1.8.20p1 for CVE-2017-1000367.

Still it is probably good to have it fixed in a point release as well
for stable releases (or if accepted by the release team as well
targetted for stretch).
