wxlshould we expect CVE-2018-14665 which is now in bionic and beyond to make its way back to xenial and trusty?17:54
ubottuA flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.3. An incorrect permission check for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. X server allows unprivileged users with the ability to log in to the system via physical console to escalate their privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-14665)17:54

wxlwhat's DNE?17:57
FauxDoes Not Effect, or something like that. I don't know.17:58
wxlwell there's also "not-affected" so i would suspect that's not another indicator for the same thing17:58
wxlah does not exist17:59
FauxWell, I've been horribly misreading those pages.17:59
wxlwhich makes sensive given xorg-server-hwe-16.04 DNE's everywhere except for xenial17:59

rflemingHi.  I have a question in regards to how packages are moved from universe21:31
rflemingparticularly related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/163798821:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1637988 in gvfs (Ubuntu) "gvfsd-nfs not present in gvfs-backends, why?" [Wishlist,Triaged]21:31
rflemingI do understand that an inclusion requisition was asked (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnfs/+bug/1746598) but how long does this process normally take?21:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1746598 in libnfs (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libnfs" [Undecided,Confirmed]21:34
jbicharfleming: there is a backlog for main inclusion requests. Honestly that one is not a very high priority compared to others this year21:41
jbichabtw, the Security Team is hiring: https://boards.greenhouse.io/canonical/jobs/115826621:42
rflemingjbicha: I see.21:44
rflemingI don't know enough to be a contributor.21:44
rflemingIt's missed 16.04 and 18.04... maybe it'll be ready for 20.0421:46

sarnoldrfleming: guaranteed it'll get a security review before then :) but .. I have to say I'm skeptical of the reasons for a userspace nfs implementation22:25
sarnoldbdmurray:  Can't access efivars filesystem at /sys/firmware/efi/efivars, aborting --- is that really "success"?22:48
bdmurraysarnold: On a system with BIOS yeah.23:24
sarnoldbdmurray: cool, thanks :)23:24
