Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not
show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor
directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any
other bugs you may find.
The root shell comes from "sudo", and the fact that newgrp spawns a new
shell. If you want to return to your original group, just type "exit"
to return to your original shell.
