This is a serious security bug in my opinion. Many network security processes are started on boot by init via upstart. If you have a server running fail2ban, for instance, and ssh/etc is not set to be dependent on fail2ban with the understanding that fail2ban will be initialized on boot... this leads to a potentially serious situation.
Keep in mind that on a headless server, an update/reboot to this buggy version of upstart may also prevent some main access protocol to the server from being initialized. This is a bad problem. On 9.10 64-bit, I reverted to 0.6.3.10 and rebooted, to find my system once again initializing everything that it should. -- upstart not starting init-scripts (event net-device-up IFACE=lo missing) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497299 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
