Aggiornamenti di sicurezza importanti per Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.

Sono stati rilasciati da Canonical i consueti aggiornamenti di sicurezza per Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
Fanno parte del bollettino di sicurezza settimanale rilasciato da Canonical.
Insieme agli aggiornamenti ritenuti importanti ci sono altri considerati "raccomandati" e riguardano specificamente programmi installati nel nostro computer.
Come al solito se abbiamo scelto (di default) installarli automaticamente, al miglior "stile windows" comparirà una finestra con gli updates a eseguire semplicemente cliccando su Installa. Se, invece, abbiamo disattivato questa opzione, possiamo sempre installarli mnualmente con sudo apt-get update.

A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both space and time, with respect to the space of all UUIDs.
A UUID can be used for multiple purposes, from tagging objects with an extremely short lifetime, to reliably identifying very persistent objects across a network.
See RFC 4122 for more information.
This package contains the uuidgen program and the uuidd daemon.
The uuidd daemon is used to generate UUIDs, especially time-based UUID’s, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads trying to grab UUID’s running on different CPU’s. It is used by libuuid as well as the uuidgen program.
