2011-05-03 CVE-2011-1842 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Ubuntu Language-Selector
dbus_backend/lsd.py in the D-Bus backend in language-selector before 0.6.7 does not validate the arguments to the (1) SetSystemDefaultLangEnv and (2) SetSystemDefaultLanguageEnv functions, which allows local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in a string argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0729.

2010-08-10 CVE-2010-0834 Improper Authentication vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 10.04/9.10
The base-files package before 5.0.0ubuntu7.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 and before 5.0.0ubuntu20.10.04.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, as shipped on Dell Latitude 2110 netbooks, does not require authentication for package installation, which allows remote archive servers and man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted package.

9.3
2009-09-21 CVE-2009-2939 Link Following vulnerability in Postfix 2.5.5
The postfix.postinst script in the Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu postfix 2.5.5 package grants the postfix user write access to /var/spool/postfix/pid, which might allow local users to conduct symlink attacks that overwrite arbitrary files.
6.9
2009-06-09 CVE-2009-1296 Information Exposure vulnerability in Ubuntu 73-Oubuntu and Ubuntu
The eCryptfs support utilities (ecryptfs-utils) 73-0ubuntu6.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 stores the mount passphrase in installation logs, which might allow local users to obtain access to the filesystem by reading the log files from disk.

2009-05-11 CVE-2009-1601 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 9.04
The Ubuntu clamav-milter.init script in clamav-milter before 0.95.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 in Ubuntu 9.04 sets the ownership of the current working directory to the clamav account, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions via read or write operations involving this directory.

2009-05-07 CVE-2008-6792 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 8.10
system-tools-backends before 2.6.0-1ubuntu1.1 in Ubuntu 8.10, as used by "Users and Groups" in GNOME System Tools, hashes account passwords with 3DES and consequently limits effective password lengths to eight characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to successfully conduct brute-force password attacks.
