Gnome shell privacy issue : Auto answering voice and video calls

Proyecto:Trisquel

Descripción

Gnome shell has instant messaging and voice/video calling integrated with the desktop environment. Gnome shell (GNOME 3.4.2 with Kernel 3.2.0-57-generic) auto answers incoming voice and video calls.

I was able to replicate this problem with Trisquel 6 (64 bit version) with GNOME 3.4.2 with Kernel 3.2.0-57-generic.

Auto answering can only be disabled by starting Empathy manually.

In other words it starts sending your video/voice to whoever that calls you without your consent.

to replicate the bug:
1) Install gnome shell on !trisquel 6.
2) Add your xmpp/jabber/google account to the default IM client (empathy). This starts operating in the background. Your status can be set from the desktop.
3) Log out from the desktop and log in. Your online status is now shown without starting empathy.
4) Call yourself (call the account you added to empathy) from another computer, another account.
5) Your desktop will auto-answer the audio/video call.

Empathy is not the default IM client installed with Trisquel 6. Nor is it installed automatically when you install gnome-shell. Nor can I reproduce the problem with Pidgin, the default IM client shipped with Trisquel 6.

Packages empathy, empathy-common, and gnome-shell are unmodified by Trisquel, being a simple recompilation of the Ubuntu package. Please report your bug upstream to them.

Marking wrong because defect support for packages not on the install CD is always upstream.
