NVD Description

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

ovirt-engine up to version 4.2.3 is vulnerable to an unfiltered password when choosing manual db provisioning. When engine-setup was run and one chooses to provision the database manually or connect to a remote database, the password input was logged in cleartext during the verification step. Sharing the provisioning log might inadvertently leak database passwords.
