Michi Mutsuzaki commented on ZOOKEEPER-1917:
--------------------------------------------

I asked for more details on the original bug and got an email from Red Hat 
Security Response Team.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1067265

The original bug is *not* about ACL password. Some applications use ZooKeeper 
to store their passwords (like in a znode "/my/password"), and the transaction 
log files are not encrypted, so if you have read permission, you can see the 
password stored in the znode. Their fix is to encrypt the password before 
storing it in ZooKeeper.

> Apache Zookeeper logs cleartext admin passwords
