Details:

USN-6005-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Sudo. This update

 Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas discovered that Sudo incorrectly
 escaped control characters in log messages and sudoreplay output. An
 attacker could possibly use these issues to inject terminal control
 characters that alter output when being viewed.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
