Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

sosreport could be made to expose sensitive information or overwrite files as the administrator.

Software Description: - sosreport: Set of tools to gather troubleshooting data from a system
