Package: sudo Version: 1.8.2-1 Severity: important
After upgrading sudo, I noticed that my ecryptfs encrypted home directory was unmounted after using sudo. Specifically, after a newly authenticated a sudo session was finished. The encrypted home dir is mounted automatically through pam_ecryptfs.so and is meant to be unmounted only when the last session is closed. For this purpose, ecryptfs keeps track of the mount count in /dev/shm/ecryptfs-$USER-Private. Only when the count reaches 0 is the umount performed. This worked with all versions of sudo until now. The changed PAM configuration has the effect that at the start of a sudo session the ecryptfs mount count is *not* incremented, while it is decremented when the session ends. When the counter reaches 0, this causes the encrypted directory to be unmounted. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sudo depends on: ii libc6 2.13-16 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 1.1.3-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules l sudo recommends no packages. sudo suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/sudoers [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/sudoers' /etc/sudoers.d/README [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/sudoers.d/README' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
