Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.841167
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1591-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'xdiagnose' package(s) announced via the USN-1591-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'xdiagnose' package(s) announced via the USN-1591-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Alec Warner discovered that xdiagnose improperly handled temporary files
in welcome.py when creating user-initiated archive files. While failsafeX
does not use the vulnerable code, this update removes this functionality to
protect any 3rd party applications which import the vulnerable code. In the
default Ubuntu installation, this should be prevented by the Yama link
restrictions.

Affected Software/OS:
'xdiagnose' package(s) on Ubuntu 12.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

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