The backtrace is small and crashes with "0xb6fa9bf5 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libmfp.so"
After searching around, I find many reports like this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/samsung-driver-security-hole-587587/ and: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/18/0319203 We *did* just install the proprietary Samsung printer drivers for a new printer and many reports say that libmfp is affected by the Samsung drivers. The Samsung drivers are changing binaries to suid and then requiring them to run as root. It can be fixed by following this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621 So, this is not an Ubuntu problem but maybe one of the Ubuntu devs has some Samsung contacts and could possibly get this security hole (and bugs) fixed. -- Xsane crashes on startup with segmentation fault. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
