This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  apport                          0.108.4

Ubuntu 8.10:
  apport                          0.119.2

Ubuntu 9.04:

Stephane Chazelas discovered that Apport did not safely remove files from
its crash report directory. If Apport had been enabled at some point, a
local attacker could remove arbitrary files from the system.
