Okay, just an FYI update, since I'm looking at this bug again... I'm going to leave this open and attached to ecryptfs-utils.
However, this is a pervasive problem in general. It would take a complete package audit to find all the places where data might be leaked to /var/* or /tmp/*, or elsewhere. Perhaps mandatory access control (SELinux/AppArmor) and exhaustive file labeling might help. Also, encrypted home directories in jaunty should also help, in terms of user data that gets copied to ~/.* directories. In the meantime, LVM and total disk encryption is likely the best option for users with a deep concern about this issue. Good luck, :-Dustin -- Protect data in an encrypted Private from being inadvertently copied elsewhere (eg, thumbnailers) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
