[Ubuntu-PH] OT: Ubuntu on Election Automation

Fri May 7 03:32:41 UTC 2010

As I mentioned earlier, the way the PCOS count the votes is error prone, plus the things you've mentioned below if that is true it is indeed a matter of serious concern of the P.O.P.

Yes - but there are more problems found : 

Among the unresolved problems revealed by the SysTest code review are the following: 

    • “Possible database corruption", which can result in loss of vote data (p.16, 24) 
    • “Potentially incomplete, corrupted, overwritten or lost audit logs," which can also result in loss of vote data as well as make it possible for intruders to hide their tracks (p.18-19, 21, 23, 30-31); 
    • “Possible injection of malicious SQL [database] commands", which can corrupt vote data (p.19); 
    • “Unencrypted passwords in database and other encryption and password problems" (p.19-20, 24, 29); and 
    • “Possible loss of significant digits" in the vote data (p.20, 22).
