Package: Debian installer Version: As on Debian live-CD/DVD for Debian 12.5 Severity: critical
1. Download debian live-CD/DVD from: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso or https://ftp.gwdg.de/debian-cd/12.5.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso 2.

For User and Passwort enter Full name: demo Demo Username: de-de Password 1st: start123 Password 2nd: start123 7. Click install 8. Wait until the installer finishes and reboots into this newly installed system 9. Try to login with the credentials given above: User: de-de Password: start123 The newly installed system just tells: unknown user or password, user or password wrong. You wont be able to login. Having a closer look at the system installed: - The system language ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE. - The keyboard language and layout ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE. - The user given isn't created at all. - The password isn't entered into /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow. - Root is created, but does not have a password, while passwordless logins are prohibited Conclusion: it is not possible to login to the system. Youl have to hack it to get access. -- Thomas
