- kd913 7y agoPeople could always use the snap versions of libreoffice/browsers and either limit access to the home directory or remove access to the network. It seems the easiest way of applying a Android permission based model to Linux. Alternatively, there are also firejail profiles which could be used for restricting what these tools can do.
- panpanna 7y agoThe snap version has some limitations but I think that is the future. And just because we maybe can contain it, it doesn't mean libreoffice devs should be off the hook for reading private keys from my drive.
- glitter1 7y agoDo you have a source for this? I believe you, I just want to read about something this bad I can't find anything.
- panpanna 7y agoAbout a year ago I enabled apparmor with a bunch of additional rules and noticed some odd denied file read attempts. I asked around and people blamed it on some Java or pgp stuff. No idea if it's still in there, I can't see it anymore but I also may have disabled all libreoffice plugins.
