Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1352-1 (python-software-properties)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to python-software-properties
announced via advisory USN-1352-1.

Details:

server certificates when performing secure connections to download PPA GPG
key fingerprints. If a remote attacker were able to perform a
man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to install altered
package repository GPG keys.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 11.10:
python-software-properties 0.81.13.3

Ubuntu 11.04:
python-software-properties 0.80.9.1

Ubuntu 10.10:
