https://launchpad.net/bugs/323327
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.10:
xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.543-0ubuntu4.1

the necessary changes.
Details follow:

specially crafted libraries and running commands in the same directory,
a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 8.10:
