I can reinstall my computer Change password but it's still occuring again Problem also is it's possible hacker succeed to pass throught the protection Firewall of My House But also Firewall of my Computer I have Lenovo T490S Does this issue is occuring only with Lenovo Computer ? I don't know if any one else have this issue I found a Security Leak related to Firefox and Mouse Controler I suspect people wait I connect on my Personal Website to connect and control my mouse Otherwise it occure less often So I Think Possibly It can also be an error on PHP Security Leak on PHP I have Wordpress and KUBIO plugin I have reported an issue on KUBIO PHP Template related to the Button But I suspect once the PHP issue occured on the laptop It can happen again after until I reset my laptop So I suspect it's Trojan going through PHP KUBIO PHP Button or something in PHP Problem is it's Security Leak on PHP But also LINUX cause Firefox let it pass on Maybe not only Linux I Mention to you all this information Cause I don't know how to deal with it And I think Some people are entering on my computer possibly to take all personal information Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I have MAGEIA : 9 last version updated Linux localhost.localdomain 6.6.52-desktop-1.mga9 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 19 20:27:15 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: It's difficult to explain but I can Reset my Computer like Reinstall it Renew all password I Raise the priority cause it break all my Firewall Password Renewall Maybe it can be also Brut Force Attack Going through PHP Code ? But I have asked my Host domain Provider they explain me everything is fine on there side So I suspect only going through PHP a Trojan and Brut Force attack That make my mouse doing strange movement Go to reset my Router from my broadband provider Then go to my personal website wordpress : www.healthinyourplanet.com Edit the website After few hours my mouse can start to move in different direction ...

An issue with your particular system (especially with third party software) is not a Mageia bug.

Hello I'm not sure it's External issue only I suspect it's also Trojan issue problem is Firefox and Mageia do not have protection against this issue can we keep open maybe if we can keep trace of this ? Cause it's quiet tiring to be on linux and having mouse moving in all direction even after reseting computer Broadband provider explain it's issue from Computer Software like OS but problem you say it's external I think there is an issue on Mageia if we cannot be protected just going on a website checking or Editing things... What do you think ?
(*quite tiring) Sorry
(In reply to Demos95 from comment #0) > To move my mouse some time to time without my voluntee > > The problem is ... I can reinstall my computer > Change password but it's still occuring again I have had mouse pointer randomly but seldom starting wandering. It was a hardware problem in mouse sensor... Depend on temperature, ambient light, surface... Try: 1) use another mouse Or simply unplug the mouse when it start moving by itself, and see if pointer stops. 2) Run another distro as live USB and see if problem occour.

It is the touchpad, not mouse? Unplugging it requires opening the laptop, you may be inconvenient to do that. Maybe it is possible to disable it in "BIOS" settings? Or by not loading a kernel module, or use kernel parameter... not my cup of tea.
Hello Thanks for all this reply ( It's Touchpad from now I don't use Mouse) I suspect it's Hacker that connect to my laptop... the mouse is just something giving me information they entered ... So I think multiple problem here - Hacker succeed to access to my laptop in some point by a security leak exploitation ( but not sure how they do ) but at least my FAN is getting more active even activating the Firwall as usual all the rules etc I can reset my laptop they success to come back to it - I generally notice by using two finger on the Mouse Pad and you can see the mouse is doing some ( soubresaut ) sort of movement very strange - I also notice my mouse moving alone even without two finguer I think (80% sure) at a certain time for exemple it occured few days similarly
Generally it's visible when you use two finger the Idea PAD ( mouse Pad Lenovo ) is normally working perfectly when you Reset your laptop even with last update of Magiea all update etc But then you connect to internet you start to hear your FAN getting more active with more noise So then when you use the Mouse Pad if you use two finguer as usual to scroll etc The Pad mouse sometimes do strange movement Like Up down quickly Sometimes it's some turning sometimes it can be cross Sometimes also it get down quickly you notice it's something wrong
Status: RESOLVED => UNCONFIRMEDEver confirmed: 1 => 0Resolution: INVALID => (none)
Just to precise ( If you do not connect to internet ) the issue with the Two finger on the Mouse Pad is not occuring The Mouse is not doing Unstable Movement Just to add
Also ( the mouse is not constantly instable even on Internet ) it occures sometimes to times ... That's also the problem ... Demos95
( I'm in Secure Mode also to precise ) Password Complex Firewal Activated with all rules It's maybe Trojan inside my disto but on linux ? But I do not think it's the case because I reset my Laptop few times Even Keeping Save on Different partition I do not open or touche all files saved And the issue occured again Because we can here the Fan I think it's Security Breach Security Leak So I notice with the Fan noise But also Mouse The FAN occurs only once Then the mouse is doing movement some time to time With My broadband provider We tried to capture Dump for the Connection But we didn't notice so much things wrong ... I might need to double check Demos95

@morgan Unplugging it requires opening the laptop, you may be inconvenient to do that. Maybe it is possible to disable it in "BIOS" settings? Or by not loading a kernel module, or use kernel parameter... not my cup of tea. --- I think the mouse might be only a Symptom not the worsed problem I have noticed also some modification on my online account ... Linkedin etc Things like that ... I suspect hacker profit of this access to stoll data regarding your second comment : Unplugging it requires opening the laptop, you may be inconvenient to do that. Maybe it is possible to disable it in "BIOS" settings? Or by not loading a kernel module, or use kernel parameter... --- I think The mouse not be the only problem and that's the thing If My Fan is doing lot of Noise... there is probably somwhere Hacker exploit Cause also I do not open the SSH SSL Access ... I have Secure mode but I don't think the SSH SSL port is open ..

Nice discovery Link But I'm not sure it's related to BUG Cause The issue is stoping as soon I disconnect my Ethernet Wire Cable I think it's External access I will double check the link again but not sure it's only stability like bug Also If I reset my laptop the issue do not occure even on the last version of mageia with all update Only after hearing Fan getting more active once ... then mouse get strange some time to times and only when I'm connected with internet
A hacker would not want to reveal himself by controlling the screen pointer. Also, that would need extra work, for what? - Or alternatively, if he gets access to see the screen then it would be in order to control it. So do you have high bandwidth usage up when this happens (screen mirrors)? Does the self moving pointer actually move in some effective way, execute things? The sensitivity to ethernet cable may be EMC/EMI interference, that affect the touchpad. (laptop becomes an "end/antenna" of the cable) If you have the indication it happens more with ethernet than with wifi, this points (slightly) toward touchpad hardware sensitivity/calibration problem. What if you move your hand a couple centimetre around/over the touchpad when this happen?
Please do not reopen this bug. This kind of discussion would be better held on the forums or discuss mailing list.
Sorry David before we close the Forum Case or Ticket Can I just reply to morgan before ? Morgan you said : A hacker would not want to reveal himself by controlling the screen pointer. Also, that would need extra work, for what? Ok I agree for revealing himself But in any case it's quite tiring cause you see (Pointer Cursor) (you right) moving in lot of direction when you work So ... Revealing identity ... it can be also tiring people .... Regarding "Extra Work" not sure what do you mean I think this issue is not concerning only Linux as your link were mentionning As you said extra work I'm not sure what do you mean ? Forum then ? I think for me it Security Breach I report here cause I'm using Linux Mageia But maybe it can help other company I don't know... Linux for me is more central it can help every company more easily I would say ... no ? I do not mean to fix it yourself but you are more central than me to report it to other instance no ? Regarding what you said After (Morgan) : this points (slightly) toward touchpad hardware sensitivity/calibration problem. ok yes .. it might be not really Stolling data so not very bad But We are also in context of Microship Component crisis What the point if you feel someone is able to move your mouse without your consent You have impression constant someone read or modify what you do also The thing is the FAN turning I suspect Brut Force attack But I do not see from which Port or App cause I have not so much App install It's default distrib only one app add on top of it Do you prefere we continue to the forum ? For me it's security leak There is brut force possibility and also Trust Questionise regarding your distrib for me it's major security issue .. What do you propose ? I'm open to your decision Available also if you have any question Demos95
