Descriptions
There is a flaw in convert2rhel. When the --activationkey option is used with convert2rhel, the activation key is subsequently passed to subscription-manager via the command line, which could allow unauthorized users locally on the machine to view the activation key via the process command line via e.g. htop or ps. The specific impact varies upon the subscription, but generally this would allow an attacker to register systems purchased by the victim until discovered; a form of fraud. This could occur regardless of how the activation key is supplied to convert2rhel because it involves how convert2rhel provides it to subscription-manager.
Se presenta un fallo en convert2rhel. Cuando es usada la opción --activationkey con convert2rhel, la clave de activación es pasada posteriormente a subscription-manager por medio de la línea de comandos, lo que podría permitir a usuarios no autorizados localmente en la máquina visualizar la clave de activación por medio de la línea de comandos del proceso mediante, por ejemplo, htop o ps. El impacto específico varía según la suscripción, pero generalmente esto permitiría a un atacante registrar sistemas comprados por la víctima hasta que se descubra; una forma de fraude. Esto podría ocurrir independientemente de cómo sea suministrada la clave de activación a convert2rhel, ya que implica la forma en que convert2rhel la proporciona a subscription-manager
