"The former correction to vulnerabilities in the sudo package worked
fine but were too strict for some environments. Therefore we have
reviewed the changes again and allowed some environment variables to
go back into the privileged execution environment. Hence, this update.

The configuration option 'env_reset' is now activated by default. It
will preserve only the environment variables HOME, LOGNAME, PATH,
SHELL, TERM, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY, XAUTHORIZATION, LANG, LANGUAGE,
LC_*, and USER in addition to the separate SUDO_* variables.

For completeness please find below the original advisory text :

  It has been discovered that sudo, a privileged program, that
  provides limited super user privileges to specific users, passes
  several environment variables to the program that runs with elevated
  privileges. In the case of include paths (e.g. for Perl, Python,
  Ruby or other scripting languages) this can cause arbitrary code to
  be executed as privileged user if the attacker points to a
  manipulated version of a system library.

  This update alters the former behaviour of sudo and limits the
  number of supported environment variables to LC_*, LANG, LANGUAGE
  and TERM. Additional variables are only passed through when set as
  env_check in /etc/sudoers, which might be required for some scripts
  to continue to work."
