Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : ifupdown update (USN-1037-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 51434

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Under certain circumstances, the DHCP client could start before its AppArmor profile was loaded and therefore run unconfined. This update ensures the AppArmor profile is loaded before DHCP client starts.

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 ifupdown package.
