RISQUE POSSIBLE SUR LIGHTDM
Il semblerait que lightdm ouvre un trou de sécurité, si tant est
qu'il soit le même que celui de trudububu: il crée un user guest
non-enregistré dans la base normale, mais laissant la possibilité
d'aller jeter un œil sur les fichiers des autres utilisateurs
(d'ailleurs, pourquoi Debian ne change-t'elle pas les droits par
défauts des $HOME par 750 au lieu de 755?)
Voici le post original:
I know there's not much new here, but I am amazed that Ubuntu, Linux
Mint and friends ship with a Guest account present and enabled.
The Guest account is surreptitiously added through a lightdm
configuration file, and is not part of the standard user database.
Because its not part of the standard user database, it can't be
disabled through /etc/shadow, nor disable it through familiar tools
such as userdel and usermod. Additionally, the damn account does not
show up in distribution provided tools such as User Accounts applet.
To make matters worse, grepping for guest returns 0 results because
lightdm.conf does not mention one must add the following to disable
the guest account (nothing is required to enable the account):
allow-guest=false
To add insult to injury, the Guest account is not sandboxed and user
home directories lack sufficient ACLs, so the guest account is able to
wander through user's home directories:
guest-dojMxl@vb-mint-12-x64 ~ $ pwd
/tmp/guest-dojMxl
guest-dojMxl@vb-mint-12-x64 ~ $ whoami
guest-dojMxl
guest-dojMxl@vb-mint-12-x64 /home/jwalton $ cd /home/
guest-dojMxl@vb-mint-12-x64 /home $ ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2012-05-05 16:29 .

Is there any reason a KIOSK-like account is enabled by default? Do
KIOSKs really dominate the desktop market to warrant the account out
of the box?
