A vulnerability in Bacula may allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-backup/bacula | * | < 5.2.12 | >= 5.2.12 |
Bacula is a network based backup suite.
Bacula does not properly enforce console access control lists.
A remote authenticated attacker may be able to bypass restrictions to obtain sensitive information.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Bacula users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-backup/bacula-5.2.12"
A vulnerability in Bacula may allow local attackers to obtain sensitive information.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-backup/bacula | * | < 2.4.1 | >= 2.4.1 |
Bacula is a network based backup suite.
Matthijs Kooijman reported that the "make_catalog_backup" script uses the MySQL password as a command line argument when invoking other programs.
A local attacker could list the processes on the local machine when the script is running to obtain the MySQL password. Note: The password could also be disclosed via network sniffing attacks when the script fails, in which case it would be sent via cleartext e-mail.
There is no known workaround at this time.
A warning about this issue has been added in version 2.4.1, but the issue is still unfixed. We advise not to use the make_catalog_backup script, but to put all MySQL parameters into a dedicated file readable only by the user running Bacula.
