Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
I' ve set up my e-mail account (pop3 with ssl) in evolution under hardy. I had deleted the .gonme2_private folder before doing that. After I gave my password to fetch the mails from the server, the folder was recreated with the Evolution file in it containing my password in base64 encoding. I checked, if there was a new password entry in seahorse, but there was none. This is not, what is expected, since evolution can now use the gnome- keyring to securely store passwords. I consider this a security vulnerability, as everyone with access to the machine can read my passwords, while I'm not logged in, while the gnome- keyring would prevent this (and make password managing way easier) Please turn on gnome-keyring support for evolution. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Evolution still does not use gnome-keyring in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
