USN-964-2: Likewise Open regression

Releases

• Ubuntu 10.04

Packages

• likewise-open - Authentication services for Active Directory Domains

Details

USN-964-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Likewise Open. The upstream fixes
were incomplete, which caused problems running certain services. This
update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Matt Weatherford discovered that Likewise Open did not correctly check
password expiration for the local-provider account. A local attacker could
exploit this to log into a system they would otherwise not have access to.

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 10.04

• likewise-open - 5.4.0.42111-2ubuntu1.2

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
