Title:
Clicking Time and selecting top menu item (current date) launches
evolution configuration wizard
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
On the Ubuntu login screen (unity-greeter), at the top of the screen
are several widgets for accessibility, etc, and there is also a clock
display. Clicking the clock drops down a menu displaying the current
date and a calendar. I have discovered that if you click on the
current date (i.e. first item in the menu), then evolution is launched
and goes through the set-up steps, including asking for your email
address, etc.
Although I haven't gone through the set-up steps, it is conceivable
that you could enter your email details (e.g. pop server) and download
messages, which could contain executable attachments, which you could
then launch to gain access to the system (as lightdm user) without
ever logging in.
I apologise if I have classified this bug incorrectly. I chose unity-
greeter because it seemed the most relevant package for something that
seems to be a flaw with the login screen itself.
