A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Fraudulent security certificates could allow sensitive information to
be exposed when accessing the Internet.

Software Description:

Details:

USN-1465-1 fixed a vulnerability in the Ubuntu One Client. This update adds
a required fix to the Ubuntu One storage protocol library.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that the Ubuntu One Client incorrectly validated server
 certificates when using HTTPS connections. If a remote attacker were able
 to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to
 alter or compromise confidential information.
