[Bug 1583388] Re: Information about Ubuntu system automatically written to iPod

 

I cannot find iPod_Control or iTunesControl in libimobiledevice or gvfs,
so I'm not sure what component actually creates those. But it's
certainly not util-linux, so removing package name for now.

** Package changed: util-linux (Ubuntu) => ubuntu

** Changed in: ubuntu
       Status: Triaged => New

** Also affects: Ubuntu Xenial
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

Title:
  Information about Ubuntu system automatically written to iPod

Bug description:
  On Xubuntu 16.04, I connected an iPod Nano 5th Generation (8 GB) to my
  computer. After working on the files on the iPod from within the
  terminal for a while, I found that the almost 21 MB file
  /media/username/DEVICENAME/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesControl contained
  sensitive information about my Ubuntu system, such as my username,
  commands that I had run recently, commands that I had run a long time
  ago, the full paths of some of those commands, environment variables,
  my UID, and text that appeared in my terminal window (such as the
  prompt, which included a path that I was on; it even included ANSI
  escape sequences for the prompt).

  I've attached the output of `strings iTunesControl`, with my username,
  hostname, and the iPod device name changed.
