Description:
Alexander Fichman has reported a weakness in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, which may disclose sensitive information to malicious, local users on the system.
The weakness is caused due to an error when installing SPS components using a user account with a password containing a leading dash. This causes the installation to fail and includes the password (without the leading dash) in an error message, which is saved to "%windir%\temp\STSADM.log-setup_[date] [time].log".
Solution:
Grant only trusted users access to a affected systems.
Don't use passwords containing a leading dash.
