Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.17
Severity: wishlist
Tags: security

apt-listbugs when asked to display bug information in browser it starts the 
browser as root. Needless to say this is not a good idea and in specific 
circumstances a security issue.
listbugs should drop the superuser privileges before doing so. My 
recommendation is to launch the browser as 'nobody' by default and add a config 
option to set a custom user.

Regards,
Nick
