Bug#430581: konqueror: access to root-files in home from system:/ gives weird privileges
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
I opened konsole and wrote with nano (and root privileges) a text file and saved it in /home/USER/text.txt.
ls -l /home/USER/text.txt gives -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5...
Now If I login kde with "USER", go to HOME by system:/ and open that file (kate will open it) and try to modify it I discover that I can do it (and save it automatically changing the owner to "anuser")!
If I do the same simply opening konqueror from the start menu or from /home/USER/ I can't modify that file. It seems that when I open system:/ I gain some kind of root privilege (and I did not enter any password)
