The first argument to printf is often passed directly from the sudoers file.
This can cause problems because this file commonly contains % characters for
group definitions. This is noted in the comment in lib/misc/sudo: "# FIXME this
printf fails when the an entry starts with percentage character (%) which is
common for sudoers group".
Fixed this by using a simple format string, "%s", as the first argument. In the
particular case after the comment I also added a new line to the string to fix
a bug which leaves the final sudoers entry unprocessed.
Similar fixes should be done throughout the code base, but I just targeted code
affected by the sudoers file here (privileged_writable really).
