Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0384-01 – The powerpc-utils packages provide various utilities for the PowerPC platform. A flaw was found in the way the snap utility of powerpc-utils generated an archive containing a configuration snapshot of a service. A local attacker could obtain sensitive information from the generated archive such as plain text passwords. The powerpc-utils packages have been upgraded to the upstream version 1.2.24, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
