Security Flaw #73

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

qt-facetrainer can be run without sudo, I.E. if someone has access to your 
logged on user they can run it and delete your training and replace theirs and 
have sudo privileges on your computer.

No, they cant. Sudo privelges require you to login as root and run 
qt-facetrainer.

I just restarted my computer, logged on to my user ran qt-facetrainer with no 
sudo it asked for not password and did not recognition and I was able to 
replace my face with my friends and give him sudo privileges on my computer

I can't cope with the problem. Just imagine you do a login as your normal user, 
then start firefox and examine the saved passwords. You will also be able to 
see them without being superuser.

And in case of qt-facetrainer it's pretty much the same. There's no reason why 
a change of faces should require superior access.

?!?!?!? no reason why a face change should require super user access? if the 
face change can be done as a normal user, that face change gives the normal 
user sudo privileges.

I.E. if you have this program installed anyone who sits down at this computer 
can just type in qt-facetrainer (no sudo required) and replace your face 
training and take full control of your computer. 

I am absolutely astonished that this has been marked invalid! This is 
absolutely confirmed!!!

Anyone can sit down at my computer right now and take it over when this program 
is installed, My god do I have to take a video of this and post the MAJOR 
security flaw on youtube to get you to believe me that it is real??

Wait a minute!! that is you justification for this not being a flaw??? firefox 
will show people your saved passwords so it is all right if our program gives 
anyone sitting at your computer complete root access? 

Besides you can check the box in firefox to require a master password so it 
doesn't show the passwords. How do I make it so root password is required to 
run qt-facetrainer???
