*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** You have been subscribed to a public security bug:
Ubuntu 16 is still automatically executing software that resides in an external resource (removable media), such as USB or CD. I don't need to tell you how bad this is.. --- You can see the default value that allows to autoplay / autorun files by doing the following steps: 1. In Ubuntu 16.04, go to Settings -> Details. 2. In the left pane choose "Removable Media". 3. On the right pane you'll see "Software", while the value in the drop-down menu is "Run Software". --- A fix suggestion: Instead of "Run Software", the default value should be "Do nothing". ** Affects: unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Autorun files from Removable Media https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617620 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
