Apport failed to match password properly 3 times

[Vadim Peretokin]

Binary package hint: apport

I had something crash, clicked on apport, and it popped up with the usual password dialog - except this time, there was an option to remember the password. So I gave it a try, asked it to save it in my session, and put my password in.

It failed to match it. So the second time I didn't ask it to save, put it again, it failed again. Failed on the 3rd time too.

I then tried checking the password in the terminal with sudo, and it was correct. So apport was failing to match my password properly.

I'm not sure if this has any security hole implications - if no, please remove the security vulnerability option.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
