Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1947-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1947-01 – The rhevm-log-collector utility allows users to easily collect log files from all systems in their Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. It was found that rhevm-log-collector called sosreport with the PostgreSQL database password passed as a command line parameter. A local attacker could read this password by monitoring a process listing. The password would also be written to a log file, which could potentially be read by a local attacker. This issue was discovered by David Jorm of Red Hat Product Security.
