Ubuntu 6596 Published by

A new libnss-db vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:



Ubuntu Security Notice USN-922-1 March 31, 2010
libnss-db vulnerability
CVE-2010-0826
===========================================================

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.
