===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-985-1         September 08, 2010

CVE-2010-2961
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

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 10.04 LTS:
  mountall                        2.15.2

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Alasdair MacGregor discovered that mountall created a udev rule file
with world-writable permissions. A local attacker could exploit this
under certain conditions to cause udev to execute arbitrary commands as
the root user.
