Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
virt-bootstrap version 1.1.0
Description
The issue allows local users to discover a root password by listing a process. This is because the root password may be present in the
--root-password option to virt bootstrap.py.Recommendations
For virt-bootstrap version 1.1.0, consider restricting access to the process list to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
--root-password option in virt bootstrap.py until a patch is available.Exploitability
