[Bug 885027] Re: SUID Mount Helper has 5 Major Vulnerabilities

2011-11-04 Thread Evan Nelson
@Kovind: I understand your desire to maintain compatibility with environments that lack pmount as an option. How about adding support for pmount OR your mount helper, perhaps via a compiler directive? Make pmount the secure default; if a handful of people want to use Calibre in an environment that

Has there been any research into this issue? At the moment I'm unable to package my applications against qwt because they fail to autobuild when libqwt.so is not found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launc

After installing libqwt5-qt4-dev, I also could not compile until I manually created a softlink using: ln -s /usr/lib/libqwt-qt4.so /usr/lib/libqwt.so Shouldn't this link be created by the dev package? Or am I missing something obvious just like these guys did? -- You received this bug notificat

2010-12-02 Thread Evan Nelson
One of the problems with Google's encrypted searches is that not all of its services are included. For example, image search does not have an HTTPS equivalent. So if a user's default search is encrypted, the user won't be able to find image search on the side bar and they won't know why. -- You r

Quick followup: Re-installing and then re-un-installing the package kubuntu-artwork-usplash seemed to force the mouse cursor back to normal. Not sure why it was necessary to uninstall that package twice. -- Default mouse cursor does not revert when uninstalling Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/

Same problem here on Karmic; tried out installing kubuntu-desktop just to give it a spin, but now my cursor is stuck as kubuntu's cursor. I tried changing it in Appearance->Themes->Customize->Pointer. It appears to change back to the normal cursor when the mouse is within an app like firefox, but i

2009-04-24 Thread Evan Nelson
I can confirm this bug. Folders aren't refreshing automatically when files are copied or if archives are extracted (or under any other circumstances). Refreshing must be done manually to get new files to show up. This is on an ext3 file system (haven't let that ext4 mess touch me yet). This is a f

Confirmed. This problem is not restricted to any one flash game. Play any game that requires both a significant amount of clicking and keyboard usage, and you'll stumble on this problem quite quickly. Just try clicking (not click and hold) in the game, then try to use the keyboard to move or do som

I am experiencing the same problem, regardless of whether or not there is a hyphen in my network's name. Any type of encryption method produces the same problem, including no encryption at all. Attached my syslog (with non-relevant information trimmed) and output from lspci -vvnn. ** Attachment a
