--+QahgC5+KEYLbs62 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline =========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-88-1 February 28, 2005 reportbug information disclosure https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/6600 https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/6717 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: reportbug The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.62ubuntu1.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. However, if your users already have ~/.reportbugrc files with SMTP passwords, you need to manually change their permissions with chmod 600 .reportbugrc Details follow: Rolf Leggewie discovered two information disclosure bugs in reportbug. The per-user configuration file ~/.reportbugrc was created world-readable. If it contained email smarthost passwords, these were readable by any other user on the computer storing the home directory. reportbug usually includes the settings from ~/.reportbugrc in generated bug reports. This included the "smtppasswd" setting (the password for an SMTP email smarthost) as well. The password is now hidden from reports.
