This is not currently a problem, because pacmd doesn't work remotely nor in the system mode, but if the functionality is added to pactl too, it makes it possible for anyone who has access the pulseaudio server to write (and overwrite) files anywhere where the pulseaudio process has write access.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
