Ubuntu alert USN-1668-1 (apport)
========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1668-1 December 17, 2012 apport update ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: A hardening measure was added to apport. Software Description: - apport: automatically generate crash reports for debugging Details: Dan Rosenberg discovered that an application running under an AppArmor profile that allowed unconfined execution of apport-bug could escape confinement by calling apport-bug with a crafted environment. While not a vulnerability in apport itself, this update mitigates the issue by sanitizing certain variables in the apport-bug shell script. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: apport 2.0.1-0ubuntu15.1 Ubuntu 11.10: apport 1.23-0ubuntu4.1 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: apport 1.13.3-0ubuntu2.2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
