[Bug 1803993] Re: Password appears on the VT1 screen
I'm marking this invalid for systemd (the patch there was reverted) and fix released for plymouth, with the assumption this was fixed with the patch for bug 1817738.

[Bug 1803993] Re: Password appears on the VT1 screen
Unfortunately I can't reproduce this bug, even with the 0.9.3-1ubuntu7.18.04.1 version of plymouth installed, so I can't say for sure that it's fixed with plymouth 0.9.3-1ubuntu7.18.04.2. Also note that the [test case] in the description is wrong, that would be correct with the systemd change made earlier, but that change was reverted upstream and in ubuntu, so the test case steps aren't an accurate indication that the bug is fixed or not. Anyone on this bug able to reproduce the main problem, of key output (e.g. passwords) being printed on the console and visible between login sessions, and/or during shutdown? If not, I think we should consider this bug fixed. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803993 Title: Password appears on the VT1 screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1803993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Interesting. Though Plymouth probably shouldn't be running at all by the time you type a password into the login screen.

The potential regression could be not allowing a + valid mode switch keeping a keyboard in a non-operational mode. Testing + covers that by typing the keyboard. + + (continued from bug 1767918) This was found when an administrative error made /home directory inaccessible. Any users that tried to login after that, were not able to (which is expected) but their password appears on the VT1 screen. Under normal circumstances, VT1 is not visible. But once the system was sent into this compromised mode, one can press ctrl+alt+F1 and then ctrl+alt+F2 and get a momentary glance at VT1. One can keep toggling between these key combinations in order to make out the password(s) on VT1. As a further test, I wanted to see if a non-super user could cause this condition, and it is in fact possible. As a regular user, I made their own home directory not writable and then removed ~/.config and logged out. Then logged in as that user again, and although that user can't login the system does go into that mode where passwords appear on VT1 and are viewable with the key combinations mentioned herein. Further, any other users that login will see no problem, but when they logon their passwords also appear on VT1 and are viewable.

[Bug 1803993] Re: Password appears on the VT1 screen
I'm pretty sure I just encountered this bug, although all I did was issue a shutdown, and very briefly I was able to see several plaintext passwords that had been used to log in across several user accounts. I am on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. This was a shock for reasons which should be obvious. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803993 Title: Password appears on the VT1 screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1803993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1803993] Re: Password appears on the VT1 screen
** Description changed: + (continued from bug 1767918) + This was found when an administrative error made /home directory inaccessible. Any users that tried to login after that, were not able to (which is expected) but their password appears on the VT1 screen. Under normal circumstances, VT1 is not visible. But once the system was sent into this compromised mode, one can press ctrl+alt+F1 and then ctrl+alt+F2 and get a momentary glance at VT1. One can keep toggling between these key combinations in order to make out the password(s) on VT1. As a further test, I wanted to see if a non-super user could cause this condition, and it is in fact possible. As a regular user, I made their own home directory not writable and then removed ~/.config and logged out. Then logged in as that user again, and although that user can't login the system does go into that mode where passwords appear on VT1 and are viewable with the key combinations mentioned herein. Further, any other users that login will see no problem, but when they logon their passwords also appear on VT1 and are viewable.

It seems I can reproduce the issue in qemu and look at vt1 by stopping gdm3, since the switch to vt2 does not show vt1 even for a moment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803993 Title: Password appears on the VT1 screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1803993/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
