[Bug 1988422] Re: device discoverable by default
Sounds like this isn't a bug, but I had forgotten the trick myself. This indicates the Settings GUI should be better designed to make it clear what's going on. ** No longer affects: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - device discoverable by default + Bluetooth discoverability is not communicated to the user adequately in Settings ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988422 Title: Bluetooth discoverability is not communicated to the user adequately in Settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Close the Settings window (or even switch to a different page in Settings) to not be visible to other devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988422 Title: device discoverable by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1988422] Re: device discoverable by default
There could be at least a prompt to turn off visibility to other devices. As for the sent files, a simple grep or zgrep to exclude some files from being sent to host via BT would be a security improvement. Specially because if the user has wine installed and a malicious .exe is sent... it can put the whole host in danger. Same for malicious scripts that can be used to escalate privileges on /home/user/downloads. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988422 Title: device discoverable by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Open setting on top right of the screen. Turn bluetooth on. As soon as BT is turned on for ubuntu 22.04, my laptop or desktop are visible to all nearby BT devices. Click pair with any device, the prompt will show up in ubuntu 22.04. From that on, I can send any files over BT and will be sent directly to downloads folder, malicious or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988422 Title: device discoverable by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Could you describe what you are doing exactly? The discoverability should be turned on only when the bluetooth settings are open, which is similar to how other platform at doing it... ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988422 Title: device discoverable by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1988422/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
