Righto, Seth. Thanks. Apologies for the alarm. I see how the distinction between whether it *is* a secuirty vulnerability or *might be* one may be important from your point of view. The distinction in less marked for a user in no position to be able to discern the difference, or indeed tell if one that *might be* actually *is*.
Look at it like this: if a user came to you and said, my update notifier says there are 14 updates and yet the Updater says there are 9 - can I go ahead and use the updater without fear than an attacker might find an avenue in this difference to slip in some malicious software? Would you be in a position to say, 'Go ahead: everything's fine'? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1223321 Title: Software updater says there are 7 updates when there are only 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1223321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
