*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Seth Arnold (seth-arnold):
BACKGROUND, PROCEDURE:
Newly installed 12.04.
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Made some CONFIGURATION modifications of GNOME and GNOME-3 type (on
instructions from web, which I don't recall)
Now have COMPIZ ? drop down on top-line for settings (similar to 10.04 but on
right)
BY RED "bomb-like" SYMBOL ON TOP LINE was notified of available
updates, clicked it.
On resulting menu, clicked something like INSTALL.
THE BUG:
I expected (as 10.04) to be asked for a password.
BUG: I wasn't asked for root password.
Sounds like a SECURITY BUG.
** Affects: notify-osd (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
