[Bug 822837] Re: software-properties-gtk crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in init_distro(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Visibility changed to: Public

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability
