An extremely critical bug and security threat was discovered in Ubuntu
Breezy Badger 5.10 earlier today by a visitor on the Ubuntu Forums that
allows anyone to read the root password simply by opening an installer
log file. Apparently the installer fails to clean its log files and
leaves them readable to all users. The bug has been fixed, and only
affects The 5.10 Breezy Badger release.
