While I agree that his is an issue. However I don't feel it's a security issue. It's more a "fix the driver damn it issue"... If you can go through all the trouble to set up a camera, or physically sit and see a few seconds worth of XFree Blink.. You most likely have physical access anyway. Physical Access = root. Fix the driver. End of story. On Fri, 2005-02-25 at 22:58 +0300, phased wrote:
If someone has access to your machine, and can make it crash so they can see what you were doing, someone mentioned this is local infomation disclosure... they could just look over your shoulder while you were using the machine or install a mini camera someplace in the room, zoom in on your monitor and acheive much better results. -----Original Message----- From: Stan Bubrouski <stan.bubrouski () gmail com> To: "Riad S.

When else are you going to do it, while the user is viewing the screen?I wasn't making a case for either argument.Also, you seem to have taken my email as a personal attack. Calm down, dude. I was participating in a discussion, not holding up a giant "Stan is stupid" sign.Go ahead and hold up a sign doesn't bother me, if it did I wouldn't be posting to public mailling lists. But if you think I'm sitting here steaming about it your barking up the wrong tree :-P I think you're simply inferring too much from what I'm saying. That's all.
