|
|
Matthijs Kooijman reported that the "make_catalog_backup" script uses
|
|
the MySQL password as a command line argument when invoking other
|
|
programs.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could list the processes on the local machine when the
|
|
script is running to obtain the MySQL password. Note: The password
|
|
could also be disclosed via network sniffing attacks when the script
|
|
fails, in which case it would be sent via cleartext e-mail.
|

<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>

</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A warning about this issue has been added in version 2.4.1, but the
|
|
issue is still unfixed. We advise not to use the make_catalog_backup
|
|
script, but to put all MySQL parameters into a dedicated file readable
|
|
only by the user running Bacula.
