Description Tomas Hoger 2008-06-18 11:49:22 EDT

It was discovered that Red Hat Certificate System may store plain text passwords
in multiple debug log files (such as UserDirEnrollment password or RA wizard
installer log).

This problem allows any local user to extract plain text passwords from the Red
Hat Certificate System debug log files.
