*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
I am running ubuntu hardy with all the latest updates.
In a terminal, I typed the commands:
cd /etc/pulse
cp daemon.conf ~/Desktop
No sudo
This resulted in the pulseaudio config file standing on my desktop, it's
owner changed from "root" to me! I am not sure if this is a bug or not,
but it doesn't look very good to me. Same goes for /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(offcourse the original, can't be changed or deleted without sudo, but
still, this doesn't feel good to me)
** Affects: ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
Status: Invalid
