Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2014:1947 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Low: rhevm-log-collector security update 2014-12-03 01:26:37 UTC

Description David Jorm 2014-07-24 04:40:51 UTC 
IssueDescription:

It was found that rhevm-log-collector called sosreport with the PostgreSQL database password passed as a command line parameter. A local attacker could read this password by monitoring a process listing. The password would also be written to a log file, which could potentially be read by a local attacker.
