NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream duplicity package and not the duplicity package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The FTP backend for Duplicity before 0.4.9 sends the password as a command line argument when calling ncftp, which might allow local users to read the password by listing the process and its arguments.
