Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2709-2
October 14, 2015

pollinate update
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.04
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

The system would not have expected entropy available.

Software Description:
- pollinate: seed the pseudo random number generator in virtual machines

Details:

USN-2709-1 updated pollinate's certificate for entropy.ubuntu.com but did
not include a new certificate authority certificate.

This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 The pollinate package bundles the certificate for entropy.ubuntu.com. This
 update refreshes the certificate to match the new certificate for the
 server.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.04:
  pollinate                       4.11-0ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  pollinate                       4.7-0ubuntu1.4

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
