2016-06-30 13:59:47 David Barth description signon-ui-x11(http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/signon-ui-x11) depends on libqt5webkit5 https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2016/02/01/on-webkit-security-updates/ Can it be resolved so new LTS wont be released with known webkit1 bugs/security exploits? [Impact] * When declaring online accounts for use by Ubuntu, the system uses a webview to authenticate to online services like Facebook or Google. * On X11 desktops, that webview currently uses an old qt5webkit component that is now unmaintained * Backporting this fix will simplify the maintenance work, by removing the need for that old component, and will improve the coherence of the system by using a supported Oxide webview [Test Case] To verify the change: * Go to system settings > Online Accounts * Add account of type Google, Facebook or Twitter (which uses webview for authentication) * Verify that a webview opens to log onto the online service * Verify that the account is listed in the account list at the end of this process * Verify that the related apps and services can use the online account as before (ie Shotwell photo uploads, Photos scope, etc.) [Regression Potential] * On architectures not supported by Oxide, namely ppc64el and s390x, the change will trigger a runtime error when trying to use that part of signon-ui. * The problem affects users of Ubuntu desktop systems based on X11. The change is already in effect on Unity8/Mir devices for a few months. [Other Info] * signon-ui-x11(http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/signon-ui-x11) depends on libqt5webkit5 * See also: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2016/02/01/on-webkit-security-updates/
