PSA: Ubuntu users, gotta do a little work to clear up a security vuln

That's funnier then hell. So stupid.

Apparently when you install breezy it asks for your user's password. Then it stores this password in a file for later reference, but never actually deletes it. So your user's password is stored in plaintext in a file in the /var directory.

Turn around time on the fix is something like 9 hours since the person stumbled across this.

edit:
The fix you can do to make sure that your system is safe is to change your main user account's password. You should be doing that every once and a while anyways.
 
It doesn't happen all the time.
I just installed Breezy on this machine and questions.dat did not contain the password I entered at install time.
