Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1762-1
March 14, 2013

apt vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

An attacker could trick APT into installing altered packages.

Software Description:
- apt: Advanced front-end for dpkg

Details:

Ansgar Burchardt discovered that APT incorrectly handled repositories that
use InRelease files. The default Ubuntu repositories do not use InRelease
files, so this issue only affected third-party repositories. If a remote
attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could
potentially be used to install altered packages.

This update corrects the issue by disabling InRelease file support
completely.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.10:
apt 0.9.7.5ubuntu5.4

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.10

Ubuntu 11.10:
apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13.7

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

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1763-1

nss vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

NSS could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.

Software Description:
- nss: Network Security Service library

Details:

Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson discovered that the TLS protocol as used
in NSS was vulnerable to a timing side-channel attack known as the
"Lucky Thirteen" issue. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform
plaintext-recovery attacks via analysis of timing data.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.10:
libnss3 3.14.3-0ubuntu0.12.10.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libnss3 3.14.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
libnss3 3.14.3-0ubuntu0.11.10.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libnss3-1d 3.14.3-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that
use NSS, such as Evolution and Chromium, to make all the necessary changes.
