Correct. The warning against copying files into dom0 also applies to
copying text into dom0. I'll update the document to reflect this.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Copying text to/from Dom0

2019-09-23 Thread Bernhard




That's the document I was referencing, but it doesn't mention using the
clipboard, only files. It seemed to me that passing plain text by the
clipboard to dom0 was going to be more secure than passing a complete
file, so assumed that would be the preferred method. Does such a
mechanism not exist then?

There is a reason. Look for example here:

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/113627/what-is-the-risk-of-copy-and-pasting-linux-commands-from-a-website-how-can-some
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/15101/how-to-avoid-escape-sequence-attacks-in-terminals

better write/copy in a file, check it carefully and transfer then. And check 
again. Many other attacks are possible..
