Title:
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is not world readable
Status in Ubuntu error tracker client (whoopsie):
New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “whoopsie” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
As part of (un)stable whoopsie persistent machine identifier
generation /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is used.
However:
$ ls /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
-r-------- 1 root root 4096 Aug 2 01:23 /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
It's not world-readable. Hence API calls to
whoopsie_identifier_generate return different results for root and
non-root users.
Either whoopsie should stop using product_uuid, or api calls to
whoopsie_identifier_generate should be denied and instead one should
use whoopsie-preferences which gets the full uuid (since the service
is running as root on system dbus and thus can read product_uuid)
