NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sosreport package and not the sosreport package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

sosreport in Red Hat sos 1.7 and earlier on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 produces an archive with an fstab file potentially containing cleartext passwords, and lacks a warning about reviewing this archive to detect included passwords, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to a technical-support data stream.
