Please email parsybaptiste@gmail.com with the details instead of opening a public issue. Include:
- A description of the issue and its impact.
- Steps (or a minimal reproducer) that demonstrate the problem.
- The Gobcam version and your distro / kernel / GStreamer versions.
I'll try to acknowledge the report within a few days. For issues that need a fix before public discussion, we can coordinate timing by email.
Gobcam runs as your user with no elevated privileges at runtime.
The only privileged surface is the optional gobcam-setup script
(invoked once via pkexec or sudo), which writes a narrow
/etc/sudoers.d/gobcam rule that grants passwordless modprobe
and rmmod of the v4l2loopback module to your account — and
nothing else. Findings against that rule, the postinst script, or
the pkexec helper are in scope.
Out-of-scope: misconfiguration of an installed v4l2loopback by
unrelated software; kernel-side issues in v4l2 or v4l2loopback
itself.
