Description Murray McAllister 2014-01-13 05:08:37 UTC

Andrew Steele found that some password changes were visible in plain text to Administrators in the config changes report. This issue affected Moodle versions 2.6, 2.5 to 2.5.4, 2.4 to 2.4.7 and earlier unsupported versions. It has been fixed in versions 2.6.1, 2.5.4 and 2.4.8.

I have not checked if versions 1.9.19 in EPEL 5 is affected or not.
