Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for sysreport. This fixes a security issue, which may disclose sensitive information to malicious people.

The problem is that the sysreport utility includes the contents of the "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date" configuration file, which may contain a proxy password in plain text, when collecting information for debugging and diagnostic purposes.
