Well, apparently if nobody comments on this issue, it just keeps getting ignored. So I can fully understand ilf's sarcasm. It's just annoying that Ubuntu focuses on making "pretty" GUIs (which look IMHO like disgustingly cheap Mac OSX clones) and a security vulnerability just sits there for MONTHS literally with at least 7 differents reports of the same issue. Way to tell your users what your focus is on. Then again, the choice of distro is ours. And judging from that Unity nonsense and security prioritization my decision is to move away from Ubuntu anyways. I'll keep it installed as long as it seems to make sense, but will migrate with new installations. No hard feelings.
