Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Unity Settings Daemon would allow mounting removable media while the screen is locked.

Software Description: - unity-settings-daemon: daemon handling the Unity session settings

Details:

It was discovered that the Unity Settings Daemon incorrectly allowed removable media to be mounted when the screen is locked. If a vulnerability were discovered in some other desktop component, such as an image library, a local attacker could possibly use this issue to gain access to the session.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.04:
unity-settings-daemon 15.04.1+15.04.20150408-0ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
unity-settings-daemon 14.04.0+14.04.20150825-0ubuntu2

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all the necessary changes.
