Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-2579-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'autofs' package(s) announced via the USN-2579-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'autofs' package(s) announced via the USN-2579-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that autofs incorrectly filtered environment variables when using program maps. When program maps were configured, a local user could use this issue to escalate privileges. This update changes the default behaviour by adding a prefix to environment variables. Sites using program maps will need to adapt to the new variable names, or revert to the previous names by using a new configuration option called FORCE_STANDARD_PROGRAM_MAP_ENV. Affected Software/OS: 'autofs' package(s) on Ubuntu 14.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.4 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
