Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The config.xml template for the Android whitelist contains   *
  * the value ".*", where it should be "*" (without the leading  *
  * dot).  This was tolerated in earlier versions of Cordova,    *
  * but that toleration was eliminated after addressing a        *
  * security vulnerability.                                      *
