Subject: Re: CVE Requests: Information exposure caused by ecryptfs-setup-swap failures

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

> ecryptfs-setup-swap script that is provided by the upstream
> ecryptfs-utils project. The script can be used to convert an existing,
> unencrypted swap partition into a swap partition that is encrypted.
> System admins may use this tool and the Ubuntu installer uses it when
> the user opts into home directory encryption.
> 
> On systems using systemd 211 or newer and GPT partitioning, the
> unencrypted swap partition was being automatically activated during boot
> and the encrypted swap was not used. This was due to ecryptfs-setup-swap
> not marking the swap partition as "no-auto", as defined by the
> Discoverable Partitions Spec

> ecryptfs-setup-swap improperly configures encrypted swap when using GPT
