Description of problem: I recently realized that any user remotely logged-in to a linux LXDE machine as non-sudo user via SSH, can capture/view the desktop of the any other user who is using the GUI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora LXDE: 20 & 21 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora using Fedora-Live-LXDE-x86_64-20-1.iso 2. YUM Update it 3. Add a non-sudo user. [Assuming a sudo user already exists] 4. With rpmfusion-free repository, installed ffmpeg and vlc 5. Start SSH-Daemon 6. From any other machine, log-in into this machine as a non-sudo user via SSH 7. Using ffmpeg's x11grab, this non-sudo user can remotely capture the desktop screen of any user currently using the GUI (it should be active i.e., in unlocked state). Actual results: A non-sudo user remotely logged-in can capture the desktop of any user using the GUI. Expected results: User should not be able to capture any other user's desktop except his own. Additional info: 1. Command used to capture: ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 60 -s $(xwininfo -display :0 -root | awk '/geometry/ {print $2}' | cut -d+ -f1) -i :0.0 -qscale 0 output.mp4 2. I have not changed any setting like "xhost", "xauth" or anything else.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This issue exists even in Fedora-22, installed using Fedora-Live-LXDE-x86_64-22-3.iso
This is symptomatic of a package *on* the live image, and not particularly the live image itself. I don't have a good grasp of the mechanisms ffpeg is using, but the Xorg maintainers might. Reassigning for further guidance.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
