https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864716 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864716#c33 --- Comment #33 from Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.com> 2014-07-16 08:15:58 UTC --- I just looked at the provided diffs and the same problem remains. Using -1 as uid brings nothing, as it again looksup the UID via /proc, which we want to avoid in the first place. The problem in KAuth is that due to the layers there is no way to determine who actually is trying to authenticate the polkit action. The dbus sender is not available that should be used for this. And getuid() might be misleading because its already running as root due to DBUS activation on behalf of the user we want to authenticate. I am sorry that the issue is stuck. We were not just contacting security@kde, but also several developers and it was entirely silent. So its not to blame us. If I get an override from management to include the KAuth thats actually not authenticating anything, I'll happily do that. -- 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.
