The remote code execution (CVE-2010-4344) affected 4.69 and earlier (Ubuntu 9.10 and earlier). This was fixed last week in http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1032-1. The privilege escalation issue (CVE-2010-4345) affects all releases but has not been fixed yet since upstream hasn't decided on the best way to fix it. The exploit in the wild would exploit CVE-2010-4344 to execute arbitrary code and then use the vulnerability in CVE-2010-4345 to escalate to root. By fixing CVE-2010-4344, the remote attack vector is closed. A fix for CVE-2010-4345 will be provided when one becomes available.
