Hi, all!
I'm using blackbox wm and have noticed that the styles don't set the root
window background because the feature is disabled by the
epatch ${FILESDIR}/disable_rootcommand.patch
The warning message says:
ewarn "RootCommand is now DISABLED to close a large"
ewarn "security hole."
I'm trying to think of an example that would exploit it and can't think of
any. Could someone, please, explain it to me?
Here is my logic: when I set a particular style using 'blackbox' menu it's
'style' file is read from /usr/share/commonbox/styles directory.
all the files in it look like
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3120 Jan 19 04:21 Twice
Why is it not to be trusted? How is it different from any other script owned
by 'r00t'?
Thanks.
