Package: systemd Version: 251-2 Severity: normal The journalctl(1) man page says about $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE:
When $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE is not set at all, pagers which are not known to implement secure mode will not be used. This is not true. As this is shown below, $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE is not set, and any random pager can be used. $ echo 'echo "This pager does not implement secure mode."' > $HOME/bin/pager $ chmod 755 $HOME/bin/pager $ env | grep SYSTEMD SYSTEMD_LESS=-ciMR -j3 $ journalctl -b This pager does not implement secure mode. The "echo ..." is just for the test. The user can use a real pager that does not implement secure mode, such as "more", e.g. with "ln -s /bin/more $HOME/bin/pager". -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.17.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii adduser 3.121 ii libacl1 2.3.1-1 ii libapparmor1 3.0.4-2 ii libaudit1 1:3.0.7-1+b1 ii libblkid1 2.38-4 ii libc6 2.33-7 ii libcap2 1:2.44-1 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.27-1.1 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.4.3-1 ii libfdisk1 2.38-4 ii libgcrypt20 1.10.1-2 ii libgnutls30 3.7.4-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.45-2 ii libip4tc2 1.8.8-1 ii libkmod2 29-1 ii liblz4-1 1.9.3-2 ii liblzma5 5.2.5-2.1 ii libmount1 2.38-4 ii libpam0g 1.4.0-13 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1 ii libselinux1 3.3-1+b2 ii libsystemd0 251-2 ii libzstd1 1.5.2+dfsg-1 ii mount 2.38-4 ii util-linux 2.38-4 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus [default-dbus-system-bus] 1.14.0-1 ii systemd-timesyncd [time-daemon] 251-2 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii libfido2-1 1.11.0-1 pn libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 <none> pn libtss2-mu0 <none> pn libtss2-rc0 <none> ii policykit-1 0.105-33 pn systemd-container <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: ii dbus-user-session 1.14.0-1 pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.141 ii libnss-systemd 251-2 ii libpam-systemd 251-2 ii udev 251-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/systemd/journald.conf changed [not included] /etc/systemd/system.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
