*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug:
Ubuntu 16 is still automatically executing software that resides in an
external resource (removable media), such as USB or CD.
I don't need to tell you how bad this is..
---
You can see the default value that allows to autoplay / autorun files by
doing the following steps:
1. In Ubuntu 16.04, go to Settings -> Details.
2. In the left pane choose "Removable Media".
3. On the right pane you'll see "Software", while the value in the drop-down
menu is "Run Software".
---
A fix suggestion:
Instead of "Run Software", the default value should be "Do nothing".
** Affects: unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Confirmed
