Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64190
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-783-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'ecryptfs-utils' package(s) announced via the USN-783-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ecryptfs-utils' package(s) announced via the USN-783-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Chris Jones discovered that the eCryptfs support utilities would
report the mount passphrase into installation logs when an eCryptfs
home directory was selected during Ubuntu installation. The logs are
only readable by the root user, but this still left the mount passphrase
unencrypted on disk, potentially leading to a loss of privacy.

Affected Software/OS:
'ecryptfs-utils' package(s) on Ubuntu 9.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
1.9

CVSS Vector:
AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
