Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2011-1548 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (logrotate), 7 status rows across 7 suites (dapper, hardy, karmic, lucid, maverick, natty, upstream): not-affected 3, ignored 2, needs-triage 1, released 1.
The default configuration of logrotate on Debian GNU/Linux uses root privileges to process files in directories that permit non-root write access, which allows local users to conduct symlink and hard link attacks by leveraging logrotate's lack of support for untrusted directories, as demonstrated by /var/log/postgresql/.
