rh#1727766

libosinfo 1.5.0 allows local users to discover credentials by listing a process, because credentials are passed to osinfo-install-script via the command line.

Comment 1 Charles Arnold 2019-07-08 20:23:56 UTC

Currently, only openSUSE Factory / Tumbleweed use version 1.5.0.

Comment 2 Marcus Meissner 2019-07-09 05:43:05 UTC

also the older version pass through passwords on the commandline.

that said with the small time window where this can happen there is no urgency in fixing this.
