Title:
Evince can't open plaintext attachments.
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
PDF allows attaching arbitrary files to PDF files.
Right-clicking onto an attachment's icon and saving the file, opening it
manually works, but left-clicking doesn't work because evince will save the
file to /tmp and start the preferred application automatically, this doesn't
work:
apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince"
name="/usr/bin/gedit" pid=9128 comm="evince" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x"
fsuid=1000 ouid=0
A workaround is (as root)
# echo "/usr/bin/gedit ixr," >> /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.evince
# service apparmor reload
But of course image attachments still don't work etc.
Maybe the list of allowed applications evince can start to show
attachments should include a useful list of other audited
applications.
(Or should this be an evince bug?)
