I must apologise: After a little more research I found out that this might actually be connected to some older bug, that is already fixed. I didn't know that this exploit tries out more than one way to break the security ;-)
But even given that I don't really change my opinion - I do not have a very special configuration; I think installing wine already sets /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr to zero. So this will actually affect the utter most part of the ubuntu installations and is also caused by an application inside the repository, which is therefor a part of ubuntu. -- Local root exploit via CVE-2009-2692 (incorrect proto_ops initializations) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413656 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
