Package: Debian installer
Version: As on Debian live-CD/DVD for Debian 12.5
Severity: critical
1. Download debian live-CD/DVD from:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso or
https://ftp.gwdg.de/debian-cd/12.5.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso2. Boot from this DVD
3. Doubble click on "Install to harddisk"
4. Select to erase a partitioned harddisk
5. Select "German"
6. For User and Passwort enter
Full name: demo Demo
Username: de-de
Password 1st: start123
Password 2nd: start123
7. Click install
8. Wait until the installer finishes and reboots into this newly installed system
9. Try to login with the credentials given above:
User: de-de
Password: start123
The newly installed system just tells: unknown user or password, user or password wrong. You wont be able to login.
Having a closer look at the system installed:
- The system language ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE.
- The keyboard language and layout ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE.
- The user given isn't created at all.
- The password isn't entered into /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.
- Root is created, but does not have a password, while passwordless logins are prohibited
Conclusion: it is not possible to login to the system. Youl have to hack it to get access.
