Dash/Unity search feature logs search terms to syslog

[Skeletor999]

Note that I believe this was before I set "include online search results" to off from Dash:

0. Fresh install of 15.10
1. Alt-F2
2. Enter search terms, e.g. "settings" or "terminal"
3. See syslog with a utility of your choice

This is CVE-2015-1343

[Skeletor999 (skeletor999)]

So... any news?

[Seth Arnold (seth-arnold)]

I'm sorry Skeletor999, I don't know where we lost track of this issue.

This code, and a huge raft of other debugging print() statements that should probably be removed, still exist in 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, and 17.04.

Thanks for the report and the re-poke.
