Package: polkitd Version: 122-3 Severity: important File: polkit X-Debbugs-Cc: liar...@yopmail.com
Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** Hello, I'm using LMDE6 (Linux Mint based on Debian 12). When, as a normal user, I call a command that requires root privileges on the command line, instead of getting rejected, I'm asked for root/sudo password. I think the tool used to do that is polkit. That's why I post here. When I enter my (correct) password, but then DO NOT validate it by hitting return, then let the login/sudo TIMEOUT trigger, then my actual password get copy-pasted on the command line!!!! When I use "sudo" directly, there is no timeout, thus it does not happen. Example: ``` [✘] user@localmachine:~$ service ollama stop ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ==== ## <- I think it is polkit/pkexec that's called here? Authentication is required to stop 'ollama.service'. Authenticating as: USER,,, (user) Password: Failed to stop ollama.service: Connection timed out ## <- I just wait for timeout here See system logs and 'systemctl status ollama.service' for details. polkit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure [✘] user@localmachine:~$ MyPassw0rd! ## My password is pasted on the CLI!!!! ``` *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-28-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages policykit-1 depends on: ii pkexec 122-3 ii polkitd 122-3 Versions of packages policykit-1 recommends: pn polkitd-pkla <none> policykit-1 suggests no packages.
