So here it comes: I made a patch, which enables SHMConfig by default.
Although this comes with a drawback: this option works in the way of allocating a shared memory for the configuration options. But this memory must have permissions set to 777, otherwise the logged in (usually non-root) user won't be able to change it's settings. So this way any local user logged in to X is able to change the settings. I can't consider this as a vulnerability. Please apply my patch, if possible. ** Attachment added: "patch for enabling SHMConfig" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12264962/enable_SHMConfig.diff -- SHMConfig should be enabled by default, and gsynaptics should be installed by default on laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
