CVE-2011-0724

Publication date 10 February 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

High

Why this priority?

The Live DVD for Edubuntu 9.10, 10.04 LTS, and 10.10 does not correctly regenerate iTALC private keys after installation, which causes each installation to have the same fixed key, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Stéphane Graber discovered that the iTALC private keys shipped with the Edubuntu Live media were not correctly regenerated once Edubuntu was installed. If an iTALC client was installed with the vulnerable keys, a remote attacker could gain control of the system.
