Security Team Weekly Summary for 09 February 2018

After an extended absence the Security Team Weekly Report returns this week. You can read about what we (and many other people in and around Canonical) were up to during its absence at the Spectre and Meltdown KnowledgeBase page.

The Security Team weekly reports are intended to be very short summaries of the Security Team's weekly activities.

If you would like to reach the Security Team, you can find us at the #ubuntu-hardened channel on FreeNode. Alternatively, you can mail the Ubuntu Hardened mailing list at: ubuntu-hardened@lists.ubuntu.com

During the last week, the Ubuntu Security team:

  • Triaged 239 public security vulnerability reports, retaining the 56 that applied to Ubuntu.
  • Published 9 Ubuntu Security Notices which fixed 21 security issues (CVEs) across 11 supported packages.
