Jamie: I know that it may seem strange to talk about security for such a problem, but are you sure that leaving a service open without the user knowing is not a security problem? I mean: it's a door into the system.
Any possible security problem of empathy would be amplified by this bug. At the very least, joining this bug with other current empathy bugs, people can DOS the notification system. And the user can't do anything but log off to stop it. That's an external person taking partial control of the machine, I call this a (mild if you wish) security problem. At your discretion in any case, but please consider the above case. -- Does not really disconnect from IRC even when closing it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
