*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session
Say I want to let a friend use my PC, but for whatever reason don't want
them dicking around in my personal account. Fair enough, I launch the
guest account. The fact that a Guest account exists suggests that it is
a separate account and is not intended to allow access to my personal
information.
I hand the PC to my friend and they click the user-switcher and choose my name.
My desktop loads for them without so much as a screensaver password. This
seems contrary to the purpose of a separate account.
gdm-guest-session: 0.8
latest Jaunty Alpha
