Martin Gräßlin <mgraess...@kde.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |mgraess...@kde.org --- Comment #9 from Martin Gräßlin <mgraess...@kde.org> --- Please note that running an application as root on X11 means that your system is potentially instantly owned. I wrote a test case for such a situation recently, more information at https://marc.info/?l=kfm-devel&m=145192452218315&w=2 You can be certain that also partitionmanager can be exploited that way. Please disallow root access and switch to polkit ASAP. This is not a wishlish, this is in fact a severe security vulnerability. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
