Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
Fprintd 1.90.7 is a new upstream version of fprintd that addresses many issues that have been here for some years, including some security ones (such as bug #1532264). It was also mostly rewritten to use GDBus and removing the deprecated dbus-glib. [ Test Case ] - Setup fingerprint authentication - Ensure that: - Previously configured access is still working - Configuring fprintd from 0 works as expected Enrollment and verification should both work using GNOME Control center and GNOME Shell (or other setups in KDE or other DE's) and using the `fprintd-enroll` / `fprintd-verify` / `fprintd-delete` utilities. [ Regression potential ] As said changes [1] are not trivial (even though you may want to ignore white spaces, as per new syntax rules), however the fprintd test suite already included quite a lot test cases and many others have been added to this release to ensure that nothing changed. >From a dbus-API point of view, there were no changes (just few additions such as the DBus object manager support), so clients should expect no changes. However the new DBus and async polkit authentication machinery could cause regressions, such as: - Races causing wrong client to be authenticated on request - Concurrent requests could lead to other client to be authorized - PAM module could ignore verification events or authorize the wrong request [1] https://launchpadlibrarian.net/510855552/fprintd_1.90.1-1ubuntu1_1.90.7-1.diff.gz ** Affects: fprintd (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0) Status: In Progress ** Affects: fprintd (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: High Assignee: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0) Status: In Progress ** Affects: fprintd (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: High Assignee: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908119 Title: SRU 1.90.7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fprintd/+bug/1908119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
