Description Doran Moppert 2018-01-24 05:34:38 UTC 
It was found that ovirt-hosted-engine-setup did not correctly filter cloudInitRootPwd from the setup log file, exposing it in clear text where local users could potentially read it.


Statement:

Released versions of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization were not impacted by this issue in practice as the passwords were not saved in the answerfile during provisioning.
