Hi,
I read that Xinput (part of X graphic server) could be used as a keylogger on a Ubuntu system.
In fact, a regular user can launch xinput and monitor every text entered (just like a keylogger) and especially text entered as root (root password for example).
I didn't find any information about this threat on the forum or in the documentation.
Is it a real threat ? Is there any way to prevent it (for example, we can desinstall xinput but is this packet necessary...) ?
Thanks
