Hi,
I'm going to Won't Fix this at this time, sorry.
The reason for this is that while it's not revealing any information that you
can't already get, so isn't a security problem in that sense, it does require
more code running as root than before.
bash itself provides the paths, and it runs as
good work - guess we can call it an enhancement, but it does seem like expected
behaviour is not met.

After some reflexion (and after deactivating the bash-completion) i
change back to the bash package (sorry everyone, still learning).
So the enhancement should be a temporary root permission for the
completion mechanisms in bash when only one sudo with valid password

this is exactly it. not an easy way to summarise in a line - i did my

the security problem might be limited to elevating privileges to read-
only superuser access. no idea how this is done.

I would set wont fix.
Although a nice feature, it would be a security exploit point.
if you need to run as root, sudo -i will do it nicely.
will welcome other pov.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
* can you detail with more precision what you mean with acquire root
privileges ?
* have you uncommented the auto completion in your /root/.bashrc and in your
personnal .bashrc ?

hi- here is the example in more detail. i haven't messed with the auto
completion ever, and i'm working on a new jaunty installation.
do the following, where TAB = hit the tab key.
j...@albans:~$ cd /tmp
j...@albans:/tmp$ mkdir test
j...@albans:/tmp$ sudo chown root test
j...@albans:/tmp$ sudo
Tanks for you reply, since it's only a bash completion problem and not

to the right package.
After tried your procedure, i also tried with a newly created user, changing
the owner to that user. Same issue.
I also played with
