#20884: Tor Browser requires D-Bus' /etc/machine-id on Arch Linux ------------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: robotanarchy | Owner: tbb-team Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------------------+---------------------- Hello Tor developers,
I have been playing with firejail to harden the Tor Browser on Arch Linux. And I've noticed, that when creating a private /etc folder with only the minimal required files, the file /etc/machine-id is necessary or the Firefox in Tor Browser will segfault. http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/machine-id.html > The machine ID is usually generated from a random source during system installation and stays constant for all subsequent boots. This could be a potential issue, when tor browser gets exploited and someone can uniquely identify the host machine with that ID. Maybe it would be feasible to build Firefox without the D-Bus dependency on Linux to solve this?
