*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Private security bug reported:
If credentials are given in the command line url parameter these show up in 'ps' e.g. /usr/bin/duplicity --verbosity 4 --encrypt-key FD3846C2 --sign-key FD3846C2 --gpg-options= --exclude-globbing-filelist /root/.duply/bkp/exclude /backup/ ftp://<user>:<PASSWORT>@<backupserver>/backup suggestion is to introduce env vars URL_PASSWORD/URL_USERNAME and to keep FTP_PASSWORD for ftp backend only and backward compatibility. The fact that FTP_BACKEND can be used with nearly all backend is afaik not documented. Even so duply 1.5.1.4+ will use it until this bug is resolved. for the future a config file based auth as mentioned in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2010-01/msg00032.html could make sense. .. ede ** Affects: duplicity Importance: Undecided Status: New -- duplicity shows sensitive data in process listing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of duplicity-team, which is a direct subscriber.
