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. NOTE: the log files are only readable by root.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Ubuntu 9.04 eCryptfs support utilities could leave a filesystem mount passphrase in installation logs. If those logs are exposed or readable, the encrypted filesystem’s protection may be weakened. The CVE notes the logs are only readable by root, which limits practical exposure. Exposure is most likely on legacy Ubuntu 9.04 systems using eCryptfs with the named ecryptfs-utils package. Risk depends on whether installation logs remain present and whether root-only log access has been preserved. Treat this as low urgency unless legacy Ubuntu 9.04 systems still exist. The business risk is concentrated in old encrypted-file setups where installation logs were retained or improperly exposed. Mitigation focus: Check Ubuntu USN-783-1 and vendor guidance for the appropriate ecryptfs-utils update.; Inventory any remaining Ubuntu 9.04 systems using eCryptfs.; Protect installation logs with strict root-only permissions..
