It is definitively a good candidate for the "funniest filename award" ;-) This seems to be related to the acroread security update that I installed from the 12.1 update-test repo today.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757393 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757393#c3 --- Comment #3 from David Kerkhof 2012-04-20 16:38:59 UTC --- I can confirm now that it was the update of acroread. I restored a disk image and run apper again for all the updates. I monitored the process and when acroread was being installed it appeared in the root FS. But in user writable places somehow the file gets recreated all the time, for example in my Documents dir, where I deleted it before. And I didn't start acroread at all, in fact I only have it installed for the rare cases when okular doesn't handle well a file, which is almost never. I think I will roll back to the old version of acroread and see if it disappears. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I had this already disabled in firefox since I don't like it, and discovered it was also there in thunderbird, so that one got disabled as well, so now it doesn't reappear anymore. (I went back to the old version of acroread and there it is no problem, but later I just let it update, and disabling the plugins helps.) Would be nice to have acroread separated from it's browser plugin so a user can install only acroread. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

A simple search (find /usr -name 'nppdf*' |xargs grep -l debuglog) found out that these files contain the corresponding string: /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nppdf.so The file contains lines like these: NPP_GetValue is called NPP_GetValue is called NPP_GetValue is called [...] NPP_NewStream : called for instance 9a832768, stream 986b1b90, URL http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/AppNotes/AN_107_AdvancedDriverOpti..., stream size 717799, seekable 1 [...] As the file contains URIs with PDF files visited, this issue may be privacy-related. The debug file should not be created, especially not in Linux using a Windows path. Despite of that, even for MS-Windows this path is a poor choice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There are several workaround for this issue in comment#4 links. A workaround is to use Okteta or another binary/hex editor to modify /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so and replace C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt with /dev/null (and trailing NULs to overwrite the remaining characters). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
