Summary
Ubuntu Update for Linux kernel vulnerabilities USN-1668-1
Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
Dan Rosenberg discovered that an application running under an AppArmor profile that allowed unconfined execution of apport-bug could escape confinement by calling apport-bug with a crafted environment. While not a vulnerability in apport itself, this update mitigates the issue by sanitizing certain variables in the apport-bug shell script.
Affected
apport on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ,
Ubuntu 11.10 ,
