NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ovirt-engine-backend package and not the ovirt-engine-backend package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

ovirt-engine before version ovirt 4.2.2 is vulnerable to an information exposure through log files. When engine-backup was run with one of the options "--provision*db", the database username and password were logged in cleartext. Sharing the provisioning log might inadvertently leak database passwords.
