[Bug 1532264] Re: fprintd allows unauthorized root access

2020-11-27 Thread Steve Sether
Thanks for explaining the larger problem here. It's a bit frustrating that this bug has existed for more than 9 years, (it seems the original fix was put in in 2011), but it's taken this long to finally swat it. Sounds like we're finally on the right path to getting this fixed. Thanks again. --

Is there something I can do to expedite this? I submitted a bug that wound up being a duplicate of this one, and even created and tested a patch to the config. The config change is pretty trivial, and worked perfectly in my testing. I'm not sure why this wouldn't be considered a permanent fix ra

A little research reveals that this _was_ actually fixed in 2011, but a config option needs to be added to enable it. I've tested the config change, and it works perfectly on 20.04.1 LTS This is as simple as setting: auth_self_keep inside the auth_self_keep section. (or see patch) Can this be

This is sad. Thanks for finding that initial bug trace. Tracing this back (it seems to go back further than just gnome 2 years ago), it's a known problem going back 9 years, and the meta-issue seems to be a combination of finger-pointing, and "Well THAT'S not a real security bug because." I'

Thanks Christopher. It still seems to me that Ubuntu should simply remove all unsupported PPAs as a matter of maintaining stability. I don't recall installing Jupiter a year ago, but I suppose I must have at some point. At the very least it'd be nice to have the option of simply doing a fresh in

Jupter seems to be no longer maintained, but yet it wasn't removed when I upgraded. Christopher, do you know how I'd go about contacting someone so this package is automatically removed when a user upgrades from 12.04 to 14.04? It's caused quite a few people quite a lot of headaches, and hasn't b

After further testing, I still had the same bug under my original 12.04 PP kernel. I then discovered everything worked fine when I close the laptop without being logged in. That meant a userland program was responsible likely involved. I removed a program (I believed installed be default) called

Public bug reported: After suspending, my x230 laptop only occasionally restarts the wifi card. The wifi light on the laptop fails to come on. Reboot fixes this, as does closing the laptop and trying again to resume. I've also tried the following kernel with the same results: 3.14.0-031400.201
