Bug#838909: X11-common: 40x11-common_xsessionrc breaks Xsession.options



Package: X11-common
Version: 1:7.7+16
Severity: normal



A user can put anything in ~/.xsessionrc which can be put in
~/.xsession. Most files in Xsession.d/ have a check for what
is allowed in Xsession.options. ~/.xsessionrc doesn't, so the
user has a free rein.

Xsession(5) notes that restrictions on a user running arbitary
programs might be easy to bypass, but this is when using software
which is outside the control of the X maintainers.

Regards,

Brian.
