Thank you for this.  I just bought a System76 Starling.  Carl had an extra one at the office so he let me have that one.  But when I went by their HQ, he said something about a vulerability they were patching, but did not get any more than that.

Got my netbook today, and its really nice.  But glad to know it was an Ubuntu problem, not a System76 problem.

Perhaps most of you have seen this and others may not be concerned, but:

http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-894-1

The most interesting part of the first link is down at the last paragraph.
The second is the one with the details.
