Bug reports created by Apport may containing a variety of sensible information -- from user names to credit card numbers. If you think that ProcMaps.txt is leaking private information, than don't look at the other files! :-) Well, jokes apart, all potentially sensible information uploaded is always secured and reviewed by experienced and competent people. When real sensible information are found, they are removed before a bug report is made public. There are well-established procedures used to deal with such cases.
If you would like to have more information about the procedures used and the people involved, please read the following pages, they are a good start: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl If you still have suggestions or comments about the procedures and tools we use, then it's better to continue the discussion on the bugsquad mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugsquad. I'm invalidating the bug, as this is really not the right place to discuss. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029189 Title: ProcMaps.txt may contain private information such as username Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The ProcMaps.txt file that gets uploaded to Launchpad may contain private information such as username that can be obtained from the path of the home directory. 7fbd44c33000-7fbd44c34000 r--s 00000000 08:01 1306557 /home/alice/.local/share/mime/mime.cache To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1029189/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
