Note: *Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, and 16.04 LTS
have reached their end of life and no longer supports updates, including security
and maintenance updates. BigFix in turn, no longer
provides content and support for products that have reached their end of support
date.
In some instances, Ubuntu releases packages without associated announcements. Such packages have
"Unspecified" indicated in the Fixlet title. The packages are released to the 'security'
repositories within the main, universe, restricted, and multiverse channels.
Note: The
Ubuntu patch severity categories of 'Low', 'Medium', and 'High' are indicated in the
CVE. BigFix Fixlets refer to information from the package
announcements that Ubuntu releases. Fixlets indicate "Unspecified" as the severity
type if the Ubuntu announcement does not provide the content severity.
