Package : backup-manager
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-4656
Debian Bug : 439392
Micha Lenk discovered that backup-manager, a command-line backup tool,
sends the password as a command line argument when calling a FTP client,
which may allow a local attacker to read this password (which provides
access to all backed-up files) from the process listing.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
0.7.5-4.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.7-1sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version
0.7.6-3.
We recommend that you upgrade your backup-manager package.
