=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-533-1           October 22, 2007
util-linux vulnerability
CVE-2007-5191
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  mount                           2.12r-4ubuntu6.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
  mount                           2.12r-11ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
  mount                           2.12r-17ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to affect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Ludwig Nussel discovered that mount and umount did not properly
drop privileges when using helper programs. Local attackers may be
able to bypass security restrictions and gain root privileges using
programs such as mount.nfs or mount.cifs.
