--- Begin Message ---Package: gringotts Version: 1.2.8+1.2.9pre1-7 Severity: normal Gringott's leaves your information out in plain sight, so that anyone walking by can see it and read it off your screen. This is a real security risk, especially for high-value information like bank account passwords. I'd suggest several fixes: 1) Only display the secure text when the mouse is over the Gringott's window. When the mouse isn't over the window, I'd suggest replacing it with a image saying "MOUSE HERE TO READ". Alternatively, when the mouse is off, I'd replace all the letters in the text with rectangular boxes. That'd give the owner some visual cue which entry he/she is looking at, while not revealing much information to unwanted onlookers. I'd leave the titles readable. 2) Put a configurable time-out on the secure text. After (by default) 60 seconds, the main Gringotts text area would be blanked. It would unblank on a mouse-over or click event. 3) Put a configurable time-out on Gringotts overall. After (by default) 30 minutes, if no changes have been made, Gringotts will shut down. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages gringotts depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.1-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgringotts1 1.2.1-7 encapsulate data in an encrypted a ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.8-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libmudflap0 4.0.1-2 GCC mudflap shared support librari ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters gringotts recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
