*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Seth Arnold (seth-arnold):
When bluetooth is turned on ubuntu it is discoverable to all nearby devices.
It's strange that any "dumb" bluetooth device offers the option to be turned on
but not be discoverable, but gnome bluetooth manager doesn't offer such option.
Any device can be paired with a device using the gnome desktop, as long
as the user gets the prompt to pair. After that, gnome desktop can
receive any file to the downloads folder.
There should be an option to make the gnome desktop device not show up
to other devices, and another one to restrict what files can be sent via
BT to the downloads folder
