Package: xauth Version: 1:1.0.3-2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
If I have a non zero ~/.Xauthority file, then create a file in my home directory that fills the disk, and ssh in again (not closing the original X or ssh session so the Xauthority entries for those are still valid and have not been removed), something somewhere between ssh and libxcb completely empties ~/.Xauthority (silently! No error logged to stderr!). Smacks of just trying to rewrite a file without using a temporary file, or not checking for any errors of the write() or close() before running rename(), doesn't it? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xauth depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-3 X11 authorisation library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmuu1 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii x11-common 1:7.3+20 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc xauth recommends no packages. xauth suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
