Detail
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: elfutils could be made to overwrite files in the root directory if it received a specially crafted file. Software Description: - elfutils: collection of utilities to handle ELF objects Details: Alexander Cherepanov discovered that libelf1 incorrectly handled certain filesystem paths while extracting ar archives. An attacker could use this flaw to perform a directory traversal attack on the root directory if the process extracting the ar archive has write access to the root directory. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.10: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: After a standard system update you need to restart applications using libelf1 to make all the necessary changes.
