The stock not security reply can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/BugTriage#Not_Security which says "unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy." -- You received

I checked on IRC #ubuntu-hardened (the actual name for the #ubuntu- security channel) and was told that "we typically only consider bugs to have a security impact if there's an attacker to the story". The reason for that is "else, almost every bug has an indirect security impact" which I can see

That does sound a bit tenuous but could be easily settled by a policy decision on whether: i) Bugs that directly block the installation of security patches are security bugs. ii) Bugs that cause disk space to fill which in turn block security patch install are security bugs. I would

I'll just point out that this can perhaps be considered a security bug, because if log rotations stop happening, the disk will inevitably fill up sooner or later, which means security patches will stop being applied, which means the machine will become insecure. You might say that that is a bit

Hi, the fix is upstream released in logwatch 3.11 but we are post freeze for zesty. We will almost for sure pick that up in zesty+1. The question now is for the SRU work to at least Trusty and Xenial. The upstream fix [1] is not super-small and I haven't checked yet how cleanly that would apply

Still present on 14.04.1. I am seeing this again today. I wonder if this would count as a papercut? I am not really sure as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts/Mission says "Have the impression the desktop is rock solid." and this is a log rotation system that only moans if root
