Details
USN-1465-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Ubuntu One Client. The update failed to
install on certain Ubuntu 10.04 LTS systems that had a legacy Python 2.5
package installed. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that the Ubuntu One Client incorrectly validated server
certificates when using HTTPS connections. If a remote attacker were able
to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to
alter or compromise confidential information.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
