Package: zope-debhelper
Version: 0.3.9
Severity: grave
Tags: security
The maintainer scripts generated by zope-debhelper leave passwords in
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat. Passwords are therefor world readable by
any user of the system. Tagging this bug a security since this is a
local privilege escalation: users can access instances as the
administrator user.
As an example this is what I can read in the above mentioned file right
now:
Name: zenoss/admin-automatic-password
Template: zope-common/admin-automatic-password
Value:
Owners: zenoss
Flags: seen
Variables:
instance = zenoss
password = ec298e16
user = admin
zver = 2.9
