Martin Drescher pointed out a deficiency in the way mysql-administrator launched MySQL Text Console after user's MySQL connection to the MySQL server. A local attacker could use this flaw to view the password of the user, connected to the MySQL server, in the clear text form via the list of running processes.

musql-gui-tools is dead package. It is not supported upstream many times and it is not Fedora start from 13. I do not want even see on it. Fedora 12 in few days reached EOL. So, I suggest close it.
