Package: ecryptfs-utils
Version: 58-1
Severity: Important
Hello,
Some of the utilities included in the ecryptfs-utils package assume
that "/sbin" is in the PATH environment variable. This happens to be
true in Ubuntu, which, I am guessing, is the upstream. However,
because Debian does not include "/sbin" and "/usr/sbin" in PATH for
non-root users by default, the shell-script utilities included in
ecryptfs-utils package exit with errors stating that the relevant
executable cannot be found.
Here is a list of the shell scripts affected:
src/utils/ecryptfs-mount-private
src/utils/ecryptfs-setup-private
src/utils/ecryptfs-umount-private
As one can see by looking at the shell scripts, all of them contain
references to "mount.ecryptfs_private" and "umount.ecryptfs_private"
(which are installed in "/sbin") without including the "/sbin/" in
the calling line.
This problem affects users of the "Private" directory a lot as one
is forced to include "/sbin" in the PATH before doing anything with
ecryptfs.
Attached is a patch which fixes this issue.
Regards,
