Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: Ubuntu 9.10: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.10: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. Details follow: Dominik George discovered that logwatch did not properly sanitize log file names that were passed to the shell as part of a command. If a remote attacker were able to generate specially crafted filenames (for example, via Samba logging), they could execute arbitrary code with root privileges. |
