Main Inclusion Report for ltspfs

Requirements

  1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/ltspfs, available for all supported architectures

  2. Rationale: Needed for LTSP localdevice support

  3. Security:

    • No CVE entries.

    • No Secunia history.

    • No binaries running as root or suid/sgid.
    • Does open any port (client binary for ltspfsd).
    • Source code review:
      • ltspfs.c: potential buffer overflow/arbitrary code execution with sprintf and popen (unchecked $DISPLAY), needs discussion about invocation and privilege boundaries

      • UPDATE: this just got fixed
  4. Quality assurance:

    • Package works out of the box without configuration.
    • Package does not ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'normal'.
    • Not in debian yet (the ltsp people expressed interest to get it in though)
    • Active cvs only (see the text, upstream will move to LP once its in main).

    • No critical bugs in upstream bug tracker (upstream will move to LP)

    • Does not deal with exotic hardware which we cannot support.
  5. Standards compliance:

    • Meets the FHS, Debian Policy

    • Standard debhelper packaging, no patch system, no libs.
  6. Dependencies:

    • All in main.
