+ <title>Bacula: Information disclosure</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A vulnerability in Bacula may allow local attackers to obtain sensitive
+ information.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">bacula</product>
+ <announced>July 21, 2008</announced>
+ <revised>July 21, 2008: 01</revised>
+ <bug>196834</bug>
+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-backup/bacula" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2.4.1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">2.4.1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Bacula is a network based backup suite.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Matthijs Kooijman reported that the "make_catalog_backup" script uses
+ the MySQL password as a command line argument when invoking other
+ programs.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <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.
