Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 8.10 Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 9.10

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:
libnss-db 2.2.3pre1-3ubuntu1.8.04.2

Ubuntu 8.10:
libnss-db 2.2.3pre1-3ubuntu1.8.10.2

Ubuntu 9.04:
libnss-db 2.2.3pre1-3ubuntu3.9.04.2

Ubuntu 9.10:
libnss-db 2.2.3pre1-3ubuntu3.9.10.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Stephane Chazelas discovered that libnss-db did not correctly set up a database environment. A local attacker could exploit this to read the first line of arbitrary files, leading to a loss of privacy and possibly privilege escalation.
