Bug Description

Hello,

I believe that libcgroup1 in Ubuntu Lucid is affected by two security vulnerabilities which have been fixed in Maverick:

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-1006.html
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-1022.html

Can you provide a fix? Or is the version in Lucid not affected? The CVE descriptions seems to suggest that it is affected.

In my case, libcgroup1 and cgroup-bin would be useful together with libvirt to do CPU time accounting for KVM guests.

Regards,
Milan Holzäpfel

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.
