Package: gpa
Version: 0.9.5-2
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole
In the Server menu, Send keys. A dialogue box is displaying which asks
"Are you sure you want to distribute this key?" If I click on the cross
(x) to close this box, so it is the same as to click on Yes, the key is
even though sent to the server. It is not the choice of the user. It is
not conform with standards of the GUIs in Debian or in other OS.
It is a security issue by leak of data after an unwitting action of the
user.
It should sent the key to the server only when the user click on Yes.
Else if the user click on the cross or on No, nothing should be sent to
the server
