---------------
ecryptfs-utils (96-0ubuntu3.4) precise-security; urgency=medium

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Mount passphrase wrapped with a default salt value
    - debian/patches/CVE-2014-9687.patch: Generate a random salt when wrapping
      the mount passphrase. If a user has a mount passphrase that was wrapped
      using the default salt, their mount passphrase will be rewrapped using a
      random salt when they log in with their password.
    - debian/patches/CVE-2014-9687.patch: Create a temporary file when
      creating a new wrapped-passphrase file and copy it to its final
      destination after the file has been fully synced to disk (LP: #1020902)
    - debian/rules: Set the executable bit on the wrap-unwrap.sh and
      v1-to-v2-wrapped-passphrase.sh test scripts that were created by
      wrapping-passphrase-salt.patch
    - CVE-2014-9687
