| tests-fix-the-signature-for-the-SetLocked-call.patch | tests: fix the signature for the SetLocked call It's a boolean, not a string |
Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> | no | upstream, 23.0, commit:https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/commit/fea3ecdc | 2022-04-04 | |
| tests-fix-invocation-of-AddUser.patch | tests: fix invocation of AddUser AddUser is a DBus method with a signature so we need to provide all required arguments, we can't rely on python defaults. This worked before dbusmock commit f8709a9 because these methods were never really looked at. |
Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> | no | upstream, 23.0, commit:https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/commit/c588aea0 | 2022-04-04 | |
| 0002-create-and-manage-groups-like-on-a-debian-system.patch | Create and manage groups like on a debian system. Reworked by Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> to support the new `-Dextra_admin_groups` option. |
Frederic Peters <fpeters@debian.org> | not-needed | debian | 2019-10-12 | |
| 0005-gdm_config_file_path.patch | Fix path to the GDM configuration file It's different in Debian. |
Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org> | yes | debian upstream | 2019-10-12 | |
| 0007-add-lightdm-support.patch | Support setting/reading LightDM autologin setings | Michael Terry <michael.terry@canonical.com> | no | 2017-12-21 | ||
| user-Replace-usermod-p-with-chpasswd-e.patch | user: Replace usermod -p with chpasswd -e Writing the password to chpasswd's standard input avoids it becoming visible in `/proc/$pid/cmdline` (CVE-2012-6655). [backported: continue to try to set loginuid for parity with existing code] |

| daemon-Clarify-use-of-generator_state-users.patch | daemon: Clarify use of generator_state->users | Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org> | yes | 2023-02-05 | ||
| daemon-Define-local-users-as-being-exactly-those-present-.patch | daemon: Define local users as being exactly those present in /etc/shadow According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48177 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/merge_requests/116, the intention is that merely existing in /etc/passwd is not enough to consider an account to be local; it must also be listed in /etc/shadow. This was done to provide graceful handling of systems where the complete list of LDAP/NIS/etc. users is written into /etc/passwd by rsync or similar instead of using a NSS plugin (but authentication still uses a PAM plugin). However, this unintentionally regressed in 34bedecf which continues reading after an account not in /etc/shadow is found. entry_generator_fgetpwent() intentionally only outputs a maximum of 50 users, and only outputs users that are classified as likely to be human users' accounts, as opposed to system uids. However, when enumerating cached or explicitly requested users, we need to look them up in a complete list of local users. Otherwise, we can incorrectly classify local users as remote (if they are beyond the limit of 50 or have a username or shell that is more typically used for system users), which makes at least GNOME Settings display a misleading user interface for those users. |

| user-Use-correct-format-strings-to-print-accounts_user_ge.patch | user: Use correct format strings to print accounts_user_get_uid() The Uid property is defined in the D-Bus introspection XML to be a 64-bit unsigned integer, so we need to treat it as such when using varargs. Otherwise, architectures that do not align arguments on the stack at 64-bit boundaries can parse the stack incorrectly, resulting in a crash. For whatever obscure ABI reason, among Debian's supported architectures this only showed up as a segmentation fault on 32-bit ARM (specifically ARMv5 softfloat and ARMv7 hardfloat), and not on (for example) i386. |

| Annotate-varargs-functions-with-G_GNUC_PRINTF.patch | Annotate varargs functions with G_GNUC_PRINTF This lets the compiler detect and diagnose type mismatches like the one fixed in the previous commit. |
Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org> | yes | upstream | 2023-02-07 | |
| daemon-Don-t-crash-if-etc-shadow-doesn-t-exist.patch | daemon: Don't crash if /etc/shadow doesn't exist Turning off shadow passwords with `shadowconfig off` or `pwunconv` is something that distributions still at least half-support, and apparently some people genuinely do this. In this situation, treat all users as non-local (until cached) but don't crash. |
