    People are complaining that the OS is not able to securely identify between two applications in the same user context. So they filed a bogus CVE, where the content of the CVE is basically "Linux is not an iPhone". It is a OS app sandboxing feature request, masquerading as a bug report to the keyring team.

    Read the belated reply from the gnome keyring folks, pleading with people to understand what the linux security model is, and that linux doesn't have the sandboxing capabilities that have been rolled out to other (paid) operating systems:

    Yet people don't understand. They are demanding that everything be turned into an iphone (in terms of app sandboxes) but they are also demanding that once the OS vendor has the power to install a chokepoint around all the apps, that they wont set up a little toll booth there as well.

    But IMO asking vendors to not exploit that for commercial gain is only going to be safeguarded by regulation. It's not going to be safeguarded by consumer choice.
