NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bacula package and not the bacula package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

make_catalog_backup in Bacula 2.2.5, and probably earlier, sends a MySQL password as a command line argument, and sometimes transmits cleartext e-mail containing this command line, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain the password by listing the process and its arguments, or by sniffing the network.
