If you're looking for security-specific issues, you're better off using the
Ubuntu CVE Tracker. That is where we track security issues and the patches that
fix them.

You can find it here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/ubuntu-cve-tracker/master/files

Please see the README file for information on how it is used.

Thanks,

Marc.

We won't provide dumps of the database, as it contains a great deal of
private data.  Please use the Launchpad API for this sort of thing:

Help Getting Bug Reports in Issue Tracker

2017-05-26 Thread Mingyue Yang
Hello Ubuntu Technical Board,


  I am a student from University of Toronto doing research. My research topic 
is to automatically detect security vulnerabilities using machine learning 
techniques. As part of my research, I need to obtain bug samples and fixes 
related to security vulnerabilities.


  I am currently looking into bug reports in the issue tracker of your project: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/. However, crawling the bug tracking 
repository may not be the best thing to do, as it may be harmful to the 
website. Thus I am wondering if it is possible to obtain the entire bug 
tracking database including information for all bug reports?



  Help is really appreciated!


Thank you,

Shirley Yang
