how about we intercept the file:// protocol on the UI level so it doesnt get handed to the oxide backend until the actual fix is in place ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393515 Title: browser allows browsing the phone filesystem Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu RTM: Confirmed Bug description: Using a URL like: file:/// gets you to the root of the phone filesystem ... i assume this is not actually desired since we even block the filemanager app to go higher up then $HOME without requiring a password. The webbrowser-app should either: * behave like the file-manager (see bug #1347010 for details) * file:/// should be disabled altogether on the phone * webbrowser-app should run confined which would force the use of content-hub by limiting file:/// access to those paths allowed by policy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1393515/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
