Description

Adam Collard discovered that Bazaar did not properly handle host names in 'bzr+ssh://' URLs. A remote attacker could use this to construct a bazaar repository URL that when accessed could run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-bzr
  • ubuntu-upgrade-python-bzrlib
