[Bug 770663] Re: New keyring password keeps being reset
Thank you for using Ubuntu and filing a bug. While I appreciate the care taken to explain the problem, some parts of the process to reproduce the bug are not specific enough (eg after entering the new password, the prompt kept coming up. But as in the bug described, there seemed no harm in canceling the other prompts, so I did). Can you provide a reduced test case with specific steps that clearly indicate what you are seeing and what actions you took?

[Bug 770663] Re: New keyring password keeps being reset
well, i'll try to be more specific. basically the procedure is the following: 1. changing the password for the login keyring 2. logout/login 3. entering the new password in the password prompt - wireless gets connected (as a sign that the password was correct) 4. however, similar to bug #745780 (and maybe due to the same cause), another prompt comes up saying that the password was wrong (while it must have been right because wifi connected). so i cancel the other prompt. 5a. after the next logout/login, no password prompt comes up. this is because the password has been reset to be the same as the session password. (i checked that several times because locking and unlocking the keyring in the password manager only works with the session password and not with the new one i entered). 5b. the password also gets reset if i don't logout/login again (i.e. stay in the same session after step 4), which i confirmed by just locking and trying to unlock the login keyring once more in the password manager, which only worked with the session password. so, bottom line, my thinking is that the password being reset has something to do with the other password prompt coming up as described in step 4. i don't know if it's the same cause as bug #745780 (i have no idea of the internal workings of the keyring manager) so i filed a new bug instead of just adding it to the description of that bug. any other things i should add? i couldn't find anything in .xsession- errors related to gnome-keyring (other than some window size issues). any other place i should look? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770663 Title: New keyring password keeps being reset -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for the additional information. I am going to unmark this as a security vulnerability because while this is a bug that should be fixed, it does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. ** Changed in: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770663 Title: New keyring password keeps being reset -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
