Detail

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

- Ubuntu 13.04 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Suds could be made to overwrite files.

Software Description: - suds: Lightweight SOAP client for Python

Details:

Ralph Loader discovered that Suds incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files. In the default installation of Ubuntu, this should be prevented by the Yama link restrictions.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 13.04:
python-suds 0.4.1-5ubuntu0.13.04.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
python-suds 0.4.1-5ubuntu0.12.10.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python-suds 0.4.1-2ubuntu1.1

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