NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream update-manager package and not the update-manager package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Apport hook in Update Manager as used by Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 11.10, and 11.04 uploads certain system state archive files when reporting bugs to Launchpad, which allows remote attackers to read repository credentials by viewing a public bug report.
