handled the Twitter feed displayed during system installation. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to inject code into the Twitter
feed and read arbitrary files off the filesystem during system
installation. This flaw has been resolved in the Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
installation images by disabling the Twitter feed.

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
