==========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

The following packages are affected:

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.1.5-1ubuntu2.3. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.



Details follow:

This allowed a remote attacker to retrieve configuration and password databases, private list archives, and other files.
