Detail

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

- Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

Apache Commons Daemon would allow unintended access to files over the network.

Software Description: - commons-daemon: wrapper to launch Java applications as daemons

Details:

Wilfried Weissmann discovered that Apache Commons Daemon incorrectly dropped capabilities after starting. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to read certain files, bypassing the intended permissions.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 11.10:
libcommons-daemon-java 1.0.6-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
libcommons-daemon-java 1.0.4-1ubuntu0.1

After a standard system update you need to restart applications which use Apache Commons Daemon, such as the Jetty web server, to make all the necessary changes.
