*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

[Impact]
Please update 0xffff package to last stable version 0.6.1 for supported ubuntu 
version. Older version of 0xffff contains bugs and security problems (memory 
corruption, buffer overwrite, ...) which cause device to become unbootable. 
0.6.1 version is already in ubuntu vivid.

[Test Case]
Try to flash supported device with older (prior 0.6.1) version of 0xffff 
flasher. Flash procedure could fail and device will become unbootable. After 
upgrading to 0.6.1 version flash procedure should not fail and device should be 
bootable.

[Regression Potential]
None.. Nothing can be worse as unbootable device... New version just fix 
security problems (like memory corruption, buffer overflow) and documentation 
typos.

** Affects: 0xffff (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security
