Description Julian Sikorski 2023-05-27 12:41:48 UTC

xsel 1.2.0 shipped by Fedora is very old, and lacks the following patch in particular:
https://github.com/kfish/xsel/commit/79748acf3045546a4d8ae444de99bb7a07d16eb7
This has caused keepass to leak passwords to systemd journal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Copy something to the clipboard and run 'xsel --clear --clipboard > /tmp/log'
Actual Results:  
The log file then contains the previous clipboard content.

Expected Results:  
Log file does not contain previous clipboard content

The issue was affecting Fedora only because e.g. Ubuntu has been shipping a snapshot from 2018 for several years.
