*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox Apparently the "Crash Report" feature is now started and can possibly upload information without user control. Regardless if it's a few bits of data or an entire transcript of user's security keys and logs, enabling the automatic uploading of data, (especially without at least informing the user of a change in procedure) is contrary to common sense and the fundamental principals of online security. This needs to be immediately modified to allow user control of what is uploaded and when. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/firefox/+bug/623962 for Lucid and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/623509 for Maverick ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Visibility changed to: Public -- "Crash Report "data upload now enabled automatically-security risk? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638908 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
