** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #851623 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851623 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to brltty in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1664320 Title: xbrlapi loopback interface abuse Status in brltty package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Xbrlapi creates new TCP connections in port 4101 at loopback interface. These are closed instantly because there is no service listening at 4101 on the lo interface. Xbrlapi should not do that if there is no braille device. This might pose a security risk, but I have not verified it.
