NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream revelation package and not the revelation package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The fpm exporter in Revelation 0.4.13-2 and earlier encrypts the version number but not the password when exporting a file, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information.
