Title:
Require password when starting usb-creator
Status in policykit-desktop-privileges package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Because usb-creator performs privileged actions, it should require
authentication prior to starting. policykit-desktop-privileges should
be modified so that usb-creator requires password authentication prior
to starting.
While it was a deliberate design decision to allow usb-creator to
perform mounting and writing without authentication (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-desktop-
privileges/+bug/1568149), this decision should be revisited. Allowing
the use of usb-creator without authentication presents an unnecessary
security risk.
