Bug ID: 314341
Summary: Temporary files remain after encrypting
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kleopatra
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Great program but from time to time the encryption process leaves a temporary
file (or at least I'm assuming that is what they are) which has same name and
size as the encrypted file .. the file has a 6 hex digit extension (e.g.
.gpg.Fu6680 ) each encryption (usually) creates an additional temp file.
I usually delete these files periodically (although they remain open/locked in
Kleopatra whilst its running) and no ill seems to occur .. just a little wary
that there may be information there that weakens security.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Take a (big file e.g. 4mb)
2.encrypt using personal key (and select delete original option)
3.look in directory of original file (encrypted fiel there also!)
Actual Results:
Temporary file visible
Expected Results:
deleted the file completely?
Not sur eif it presents any security weakening
