sudo flaw and security vulnerability

[Member greyowl]

I just noticed this article on a flaw in sudo which creates a security vulnerability:
Here is the article.
It suggests to upgrade to a new version of 1.8.28 or later.
I checked Synaptic and the newest version available is 1.8.19 p1-2.1+deb9u1.
Will the recommended version become available in due course?
