The Apport hook (DistUpgradeApport.py) in Update Manager, as used by Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 11.10, and 11.04, uploads the /var/log/dist-upgrade directory when reporting bugs to Launchpad, which allows remote attackers to read repository credentials by viewing a public bug report. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0949.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw could accidentally publish private repository credentials inside Ubuntu upgrade bug reports. If a user reported an upgrade problem to Launchpad, Update Manager could upload the dist-upgrade logs, making sensitive repository access details visible in a public bug report. Exposure is most likely on legacy Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 11.10, or 11.04 systems where users filed public Launchpad bug reports after distribution upgrades, especially systems using authenticated private repositories. Prioritize this as a legacy credential-exposure cleanup, not a broad remote-code-execution emergency. The business risk is unauthorized access to private repositories if old public bug reports exposed still-valid credentials. Mitigation focus: Apply Ubuntu guidance from USN-1443-2 for affected Update Manager installations.; Identify public Launchpad reports that may include dist-upgrade logs.; Remove or restrict any exposed attachments containing repository credentials..
