Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 3.28.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that gnome-session-binary 3.28.0 listens on TCP sockets:
$ sudo ss -tunlp | grep -E '(gnome-session|State)'
Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port
tcp LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:34651 0.0.0.0:*
users:(("gnome-session-b",pid=1554,fd=12))
tcp LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:32835 0.0.0.0:*
users:(("gnome-session-b",pid=840,fd=12))
tcp LISTEN 0 128 [::]:44309 [::]:*
users:(("gnome-session-b",pid=840,fd=11))
tcp LISTEN 0 128 [::]:38204 [::]:*
users:(("gnome-session-b",pid=1554,fd=11))
I don't remember this happening with previous versions.
Talking with upstream it turns out that the issue is caused by the
combination of these two facts:
1. gnome-session switched to meson as its build system;
2. the code was still relying on the autoconf variable HAVE_XTRANS to
disable TCP sockets, and meson was not defining it.
Upstream suggests to cherry-pick this change from the git repository:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-session/commit/?id=1ece66e683258a0bfa044d074becfe207d04a748
Thanks,
Antonio
