Ubuntu 10.04 LTS : likewise-open regression (USN-964-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 48242

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-964-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Likewise Open. The upstream fixes were incomplete, which caused problems running certain services. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Matt Weatherford discovered that Likewise Open did not correctly check password expiration for the local-provider account. A local attacker could exploit this to log into a system they would otherwise not have access to.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
