language-selector 0.6.7 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

language-selector (0.6.7) maverick-security; urgency=low

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * SECURITY UPDATE: language selector backend did not verify policy kit
    authentication.
    - debian/language-selector-common.postinst: shut down old backend.
    - CVE-2011-0729

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend: Actually look at the PolicyKit check result
    and only proceed if it succeeded. Thanks to Romain Perier for finding this
    and providing the patch! This fixes a local root privilege escalation, as
    this allows any authenticated user to write arbitrary shell commands into
    /etc/default/locale. (LP: #764397)
  * dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend: Reject locale names with invalid characters
    in it, to further prevent injecting shell code into /etc/default/locale
    for authenticated users. Thanks to Felix Geyer for the initial patch!
    (LP: #764397)
  * debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for newly created maverick branch.
