Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the C AMQP client library (aka rabbitmq-c) through 0.13.0 for RabbitMQ. Credentials can only be entered on the command line (e.g., for amqp-publish or amqp-consume) and are thus visible to local attackers by listing a process and its arguments.

A flaw was found in librabbitmq. This issue occurs because credentials can only be entered on the command line (for example, for amqp-publish or amqp-consume) and are visible to local attackers by listing a process and its arguments.

An update for librabbitmq is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
