Sure, I can fix it in my systems, and have done so. But other users using the default settings will still have a potential security vulnerability in their systems.
And the X11 files is a case we know about; there might be other programs using /tmp in a similar way (such as the TigerVNC case), and some of them may also have security implications. Looking at the big picture, the underlying cause may very well be that programs are using /tmp "wrong". The solution is to fix *all* of them, or to accept that this usage happens and try to minimize the danger. At the minimum, the *known* security issues (like the X11 files) should be fixed one way or another. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2088268 Title: systemd /tmp cleaning removes files that it shouldn't To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2088268/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
