I am currently testing 20.04. If there is no option to edit & remove private data prior to sending, I have little interest in submitting further reports.
Why can the program not present the user with the files & info that is going to be submitted? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359902 Title: ubuntu creash reporting reveals sensitive data Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Hi, ubuntu jaunty has a new system to automatically create reports when programs crash. Good work. But the reports contain lists of open files and thus filenames, and core dumps, which (usually) contain a copy of the program's heap and static memory. So uploading that crash report to ubuntu's bug reporting system (i.e. this launchpad) reveals memory contents to the public. Some programs can contain sensible data. For example, the program that crashes most often on my jaunty beta installation is the search tool of tracker, which basically scans *every single one* of my private files. At the moment of crash any contents of my home file system could still remain in the process memory space and thus made publicly available. Would be interesting to download all core dumps and search for private data. Most people won't realize this and just send that automatically generated report. regards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/359902/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
