Description Filip Krska 2013-11-13 19:16:47 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1030040 +++

Description of problem:

There are unsolicited ads loaded from 3rd party servers (implies unsolicited and unexpected tracking by the 3rd party, so privacy concerns may apply) via following markup:

<span style="float: left">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-3204610807458280";
/* rsyslog doc inline */
google_ad_slot = "5958614527";
google_ad_width = 125;
google_ad_height = 125;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</span>

in following doc pages:

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2014-02-25 00:11:43 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
