Bug Description
[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.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.
