Description:
Jamie Strandboge has reported a security issue in eCryptfs Utils, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the "ecryptfs-setup-private" program passing the login and mount passwords via the command line to the "ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase" and "ecryptfs-add-passphrase" programs. This can be exploited to disclose the passwords via the process list.
