Description:
Justin R. Beckley has reported a security issue in fai-client, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to view administrator password hashes.
The security issue is caused due to the application storing the root password hash in a log file with insecure permissions when using the verbose mode during installation.
The security issue is reported in version 2.10 and 3.1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
