Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.10 Summary: autofs could be made to run programs as an administrator if program maps were configured. Software Description: - autofs: kernel-based automounter for Linux Details: It was discovered that autofs incorrectly filtered environment variables when using program maps. When program maps were configured, a local user could use this issue to escalate privileges. This update changes the default behaviour by adding a prefix to environment variables. Sites using program maps will need to adapt to the new variable names, or revert to the previous names by using a new configuration option called FORCE_STANDARD_PROGRAM_MAP_ENV. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.10: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
