https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=377652 Summary: permission request confusing and insecure Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Security AssignedTo: security-team@suse.de ReportedBy: sreeves@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- On my factory box (update ~ 4/2/2008 ) I ran a "git pull" command, it was slow waiting for the remote server so I switched to another task. I then pulled up my browser and as the multiple tabs were loading got this popup - "An application wants access to the private key id_rsa ..." I spent a couple minutes switching through the various tabs wondering which one and why it was requesting access to the private key. I finally denied it feeling slightly worried about what was going on. Only later when I switched back to the "git pull" did I remember... The popup needs to list what application is requesting access. It does not seem like a good idea to get users used to accepting random popups that just say "something somewhere wants access ..." -- 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.
