*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Seth Arnold (seth-arnold):
On a computer with an unencrypted root partition and an encrypted /home
partition, during boot, after three failed attempts to unlock the /home
partition, startup proceeds and I end up at GDM. I cannot log in though,
since /home is still locked.
I expected cryptsetup to either keep asking for the passphrase or refuse
to proceed and ask me to power off instead.
Is it a bug? Is it the desired behavior? Does it make the computer less
secure than the unencrypted / partition already does (I realize that it
is a bad setup)?
PS: The 60 second delay reported in bug 1862660 doesn't happen.
Ubuntu 20.04, cryptsetup 2:2.2.2-3ubuntu2
** Affects: cryptsetup (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
