Ubuntu Security Notice 1345-1 - Peter Huewe discovered an information leak in the handling of reading security-related TPM data. A local, unprivileged user could read the results of a previous TPM command. Clement Lecigne discovered a bug in the HFS filesystem. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a kernel oops. A flaw was found in how the Linux kernel handles user-defined key types. An unprivileged local user could exploit this to crash the system. Various other issues were also addressed.
