Descriptions

keycloak-httpd-client-install versions before 0.8 allow users to insecurely pass password through command line, leaking it via command history and process info to other local users.

keycloak-httpd-client-install, en versiones anteriores a la 0.8, permite que los usuarios pasen la contraseña de forma no segura a través de la línea de comandos, filtrándola mediante el historial de comandos y procesen la información a otros usuarios locales.

In keycloak-http-client-install prior to version 0.8, the admin password could be provided through a command-line argument. This might result in the password being leaked through shell history, or becoming visible to a local attacker at the time the program is running.

The keycloak-httpd-client-install packages provide various libraries and tools that can automate and simplify the configuration of Apache httpd authentication modules when registering as a Red Hat Single Sign-On federated Identity Provider client. Multiple unsafe actions have been addressed.
