Package: popularity-contest Version: 1.26 Severity: minor Hi,
the FAQ states: Q) What are the privacy consideration for popularity-contest ? A) Each popularity-contest host is identified by a random 128bit uuid (MY_HOSTID in /etc/popularity-contest). This uuid is used to track submission issued by the same host. It should be kept secret. Indeed, the permissions on /etc/popularity-contest.conf (this is a typo btw. in the FAQ) are: neptun:~# ls -l /etc/popularity-contest.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357 Jan 25 15:04 /etc/popularity-contest.conf which makes it world readable. The permissions should be adjusted.
