TITLE:
Ubuntu update for fglrx-installer

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA33895

VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/33895/

DESCRIPTION:
Ubuntu has issued an update for fglrx-installer. This fixes a
vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to the installer creating an insecure
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on 64bit systems. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the affected
binaries by causing the binaries to load a malicious shared library
from the current directory.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.

-- Ubuntu 8.10 --
