I *might* have a possible clue for the gdebi gui crash in Bionic. If I right click on a .deb file and tell it to install with gdebi the gui will crash. If I open a terminal in the same directory as the file and launch gdebi-gtk *.deb the gui will install and uninstall the .deb file without crash

It looks like sudo 1.8.12 made it into 15.10 finally. Excellent. Apple went the other route and locked the clock back down. (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205031) The CVE associated with this bug seems to be about the TZ (seen on RedHat's security site: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/C

Kay, the update to sudo (1.8.10) actually solves this by using the monotonic clock. All that needs to happen is for Ubuntu to udpate to it. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sudo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launch

Indeed. Trojaning those requires waiting for the user. Why lay a trap and wait when you can just break down the door? If I can use dogtail or similar to automate the clock and suddenly we're in drive-by territory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seed

Notice that only the SID changed though. That gives me a 1 in 32k chance, and I can generate them basically at will with setsid. In my testing so far, the inode of the TTY file for /dev/pts/0 has stayed "3" across several reboots. If it doesn't change, then it is moot from a security standpoint.

Tyler, it's great that this bug will be fixed. However, I have some concerns about the mitigations factors. 1) Timestamp: Easily found in the auth.log, and easily bypassed due to an unlocked clock. 2) TTY: The tty of the first gnome-terminal running is (as far as I can tell) /dev/pts/0. That's p

Really? If the terminal I last ran sudo in is open still on the machine, and it's unlocked, I couldn't simply change the time back to the previous sudo command an escalate? Even if it's a remote chance, it's still an easy exploit. /var/log/auth.log is certainly readable by a program that uses a d
