Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Fprintd 1.90.7 is a new upstream version of fprintd that addresses many
issues that have been here for some years, including some security ones (such
as bug #1532264).
It was also mostly rewritten to use GDBus and removing the deprecated
dbus-glib.
[ Test Case ]
- Setup fingerprint authentication
- Ensure that:
- Previously configured access is still working
- Configuring fprintd from 0 works as expected
Enrollment and verification should both work using GNOME Control
center and GNOME Shell (or other setups in KDE or other DE's) and
using the `fprintd-enroll` / `fprintd-verify` / `fprintd-delete`
utilities.
[ Regression potential ]
As said changes [1] are not trivial (even though you may want to
ignore white spaces, as per new syntax rules), however the fprintd
test suite already included quite a lot test cases and many others
have been added to this release to ensure that nothing changed.
From a dbus-API point of view, there were no changes (just few
additions such as the DBus object manager support), so clients should
expect no changes.
However the new DBus and async polkit authentication machinery could cause
regressions, such as:
- Races causing wrong client to be authenticated on request
- Concurrent requests could lead to other client to be authorized
- PAM module could ignore verification events or authorize the wrong request
