DESCRIPTION:
Ubuntu has issued an update for usb-creator. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform
certain actions with escalated privileges.
The security issue is caused due to the "UnmountFile" method not
being protected by PolicyKit, which can be exploited to unmount an
arbitrary filesystem.
SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
