Hello sysadmins!
gnome-weather currently leaks user information to weather providers
(noaa and yr.no), and it does that over http; details are available in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734048.
In that bug report it was decided to disable the weather search
provider by default, so the leak would only happen when actively using
gnome-weather.
To go further I have now created another bug report, following a
suggestion the initial report:
So I think this bug can either be closed or kept open to track the
effort of trying to contact NOAA and yr.no asking for TLS or
implementing a GNOME hosted TLS proxy.
That's https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736814.
So here I am, asking sysadmins how feasible it would be to have an
https caching proxy to noaa and yr.no.
I'll update the bug report with the RT ticket number once I get it.
Thanks,
Fred
