Title:
Remote desktop is automatically enabled after login
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Jammy:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If I disable sharing/remote desktop in GNOME Control Center, then log
out and back in, it is automatically enabled again. I report this as a
security vulnerability because remote desktop is enabled without the
user's knowledge.
Software versions:
- Ubuntu 22.04
- gnome-remote-desktop 42.0-4ubuntu1
- gnome-control-center 1:41.4-1ubuntu13
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with Remote Desktop enabled. "systemctl --user status
gnome-remote-desktop.service" reports "active (running)".
2. Disable Remote Desktop in Control Center. systemctl reports "inactive
(dead)".
3. Log out and back in.
4. Open Control Center. Remote Desktop is enabled again. systemctl reports
"active (running)".
Expected behavior:
Remote Desktop should stay disabled upon the new login.
Actual behavior:
Remote Desktop was automatically enabled again.
