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.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
