2014-11-13 01:47:16 Robert Ancell description There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to force LightDM's VNC server to listen on only specified interfaces, most notably localhost. This creates a security issue, as the best and most secure way to access a VNC server is through an SSH tunnel where the client will only connect to its localhost on a particular port having all connections through the tunnel to the server's localhost port. If there is a proper way to do this or some sort of work-around, I would be very interested in how to do so. As of right now, this makes LightDM's VNC server unusable for me. [Impact] The XDMCP and VNC servers in LightDM allow connections on any network interface. It is desirable for these to be limited to a particular interface to limit who can connect (i.e. only allow local connections on 127.0.0.1). [Test Case] 1. Enable the VNC server in LightDM in lightdm.conf: [VNCServer] enabled=true listen-address=127.0.0.1 2. Start LightDM With this setup you should only be able to make a local connection. [Regression potential] Low. If the option is not set LightDM has the old behaviour.
