** Description changed:

- [Ubuntu 14.04]
+ [Impact]
  
  sudo 1.8.9p5 had a bug which caused any rule added to sudoers to be
  ignored if the user was stated by user id (with the username works just
  fine).
  
- For instance:
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ * Rules using user id should work after the fix.
  
  #33        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever
  
- Is ignored, while:
+ * Also make sure that rules using username still work.
  
  myusername        ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/whatever
  
- works just fine.
+ [Regression Potential]
  
- This bug has been fixed in the current stable release of sudo (1.8.10p3)
- and it would be convenient if the patch could be applied to the current
- sudo package in Ubuntu 14.04 (sudo1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1 )
+ This bug has been fixed in the current stable release of sudo
+ (1.8.10p3).
