Probably. I just noticed it and verified it on xdm. If other login
prompts have the same issue, a common solution may be better.

Note that with ssh, there is no login prompt, normally.

Bug#869773: xdm logs failed logins that may be sensitive

2017-07-26 Thread Nicolas George
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.11-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When somebody tries to log in and fails, xdm writes the given user name in
the system logs. Unfortunately, typing the password in the login field is a
common mistake. When that happens, xdm logs it too. That leaves the
password of an user in clear in the system logs. It is not very
important, but still a little security concern since normally passwords
are stored permanently on the system only in hashed form.

The corresponding log line looks like this:

Jul 26 11:32:31 hellroy xdm[1004]: LOGIN FAILURE ON :0, XXX

(I have redacted the login that was actually a password.)

It may be better to not log it at all, or maybe only log it when it matches
an actual login name.

Regards,

Bug#578243: can't change bell pitch: reported upstream?

2010-06-03 Thread Nicolas George
Hi.

Le decadi 20 floréal, an CCXVIII, Julien Cristau a écrit :

Bug #27926 in the upstream bugzilla was submitted by me a few days after I
submitted it to Debian (compiling xserver from Git takes more effort).

My patch has just been applied to the upstream as commit
968a79dcf5e17ac3963953ef56b8f94dbd75323b
(
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=968a79dcf5e17ac3963953ef56b8f94dbd75323b
).

I just checked, it applies seamlessly to xorg-server-1.7.7 currently
packages by Debian.

Bug#549377: xinit: xserverrc ignores arguments from startx

2009-10-02 Thread Nicolas George
Package: xinit
Version: 1.1.1-1

The startx script invokes xinit like this:

xinit "$client" $clientargs -- "$server" $display $serverargs

If there are no explicit arguments and no local .xserverrc script, $server
has been previously initialized to /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc.

$serverargs holds, among other things, the auth file. The xinit line in a
typical system looks like this:

xinit /home/cigaes/.xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0 -auth 
/tmp/serverauth.axdsHbFbfp

The problem is that the default xserverrc script looks like this:

exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp

Which means it completely ignores its arguments, including the -auth stuff.
Cookie-based authentication is therefore not enabled in the server.

Suggested fix:

exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp "$@"

Seems to work for me.

Bug#397485: [i965] Xv causes ring lockups with v1.7.0 intel driver

2006-11-07 Thread Nicolas George
Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810
Version: 2:1.7.2-1

The current version of the driver has a bug that makes XVideo unusable with
a 965G chipset. See

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8594

The fix is already in the GIT repository:

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git;a=commit;h=fbb376bd1a4daad4c86e349df98438989ce173f1

Please consider importing the fix in Debian soon.

Bug#376297: Xt man pages are gone

2006-07-01 Thread Nicolas George
Package: libxt-dev
Version: 1:1.0.0-5

Old versions of libxt-dev contain man pages, for example
/usr/X11R6/man/man3/XtAppInitialize.3x.gz (found in 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6). With
the new version from X.org 7, these man pages are nowhere to be seen (except
in Japanese). The man pages are still in the source package.

System information (is it really necessary?):

Bug#285396: [ARM] wide chars don't work

2004-12-12 Thread Nicolas George
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8

xterm is built with the default -mstructure-size-boundary value, 32. This
leads to sizeof(XChar2b) being 4 and not 2 as it should be. The result is
that xterm with wide-chars enabled will display a null character between
each second character.

Steps to see the problem:

xterm -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1 +wc

(display is ok)

xterm -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1 -wc

(display is obviously wrong)

The problem disappears if xterm is build with the
-mstructure-size-boundary=8 option.

I report the problem against the xterm package because that is the one I
found it, and the one with which I experimented, and probably the worst, but
it is probably present with all programs that use wide characters with the
non-Xft X11 API. I am told that emacs suffers from the same problem.

Miscellaneous config information (should not be relevant):

xlibs-data 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18

I know this problem. Try to add
