As a person working in a secure facility with quite a few machines running Ubuntu, this is a major security issue. This is a flaw that allows root access without a password. The fact that this issue is being brushed off is angering, but even worse is that it's been made public. I shouldn't even be able to know about an issue like this until it has been fixed already. This issue needs to be taken seriously, and fixed, as soon as possible.
