*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

No .ICEauthority file at all
in i686 trusty's Kubuntu 14.04.1, Lubuntu 14.04 and 14.04.1,
nor in amd64 Kubuntu 14.04.

I detected four cases in installed trusties : there is no .ICEauthority
in /home/main_user. Nevertheless users can log in. You can see the
phenomenon as soon as the live usb has been burned. You don't even need
to install.

I already could reproduce it for
Lubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso, b0d1c58c8515ab40382d01f59655ba85
==============

First case (first user) :
Lubuntu iso unknown,
burned with lili usb creator.
lsb_release -d  Description:
(L)Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
uname -r   Linux XXXX 3.13.0-33-generic
cat /proc/cpuinfo
dual core processor: Intel Atom N270

Second case (same user) :
other iso but same user and same hardware as above.
Lubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso, b0d1c58c8515ab40382d01f59655ba85
burned with lili usb creator.
With updates, according to the kernel.
uname -a   Linux XXXX 3.13.0-33-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 29 16:47:17 UTC 
2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Third case; second user :
Kubuntu iso unknown.
lsb_release -d  Description: (K)Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
uname -a  Linux YYYY 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:12 UTC 
2014
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 250

==============
Fourth case; third user (me)
Kubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso, aefdc97d26e51066f5b50d36c5d4218c
>From 
>cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/14.04/release/kubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso
  Beginning with :
amd64 AMD Athlon dual core 5050e
and using a persistent live  lsb_release -d  Description: (X)Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
kernel 3.13.0-24-generic (...) i686,
  I took again my micro-SD card and washed it up with
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=512 count=4096
Then created, using gparted, a msdos partitions table.
Then i tried to burn it with persistency, using usb-creator-gtk 0.2.23, of my 
persistent live Xubuntu 14.04 : FAILURE
  Using gparted, i created a new fat32 partition, aligned on cylinders.
New try to burn, without persistency : ok

  Plugged to another pc, with
Intel core 2duo P8600 :
            NO .ICEauthority again.

==============
I (third user) had reproduced the second case with this process :
I took a micro-SD card and washed it up with
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=4000
Then i burned it with usb-creator-gtk 0.2.23, of a Xubuntu 12.04.5
(uname -a
Linux ZZZZ 3.2.0-67-generic #101-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 17:45:51 UTC 2014 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux)
and an Intel Atom N270 processor.
Then I plugged it in another pc, with an amd64 AMD Athlon dual core processor 
5050e.
And so it was : no .ICEauthority, but i could boot and reboot the live session.
