    Understanding updates information

    I received an update notice from the Update manager and I am wondering why the differences between the ubuntu versions and the author's version.

    Update Manager:
    Changes for the versions:
    1.7.0-1ubuntu2
    1.7.0-1ubuntu2.1

    Version 1.7.0-1ubuntu2.1:

    * SECURITY UPDATE: properly verify path for the 'sudoedit' pseudo-command
    in match.c
    - http://sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/88f3181692fe
    - CVE-2010-0426

    From http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo
    The current stable version of sudo is 1.7.2p4.

    ...why the differences between the ubuntu versions and the author's version.
    Because latest version is not in the repos jet.Update that package.
    There is no greater religion than a truth.
