Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt-listchanges

References:
DSA-1465-2 (http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1465)

Quoting:
"Felipe Sateler discovered that apt-listchanges, a package change history
notification tool, used unsafe paths when importing its python libraries.
This could allow the execution of arbitary shell commands if the root user
executed the command in a directory which other local users may write
to."

Unfortunately the referenced CVE-2008-0302 from DSA-1465-2 doesn't
exist, possible typo?

** Affects: apt-listchanges (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Visibility changed to: Public
