CVE-2006-1772 Information

Description

debconf in Debian GNU/Linux when configuring mnogosearch in the mnogosearch-common 3.2.31-1 package uses the world-readable config.dat file instead of the restricted passwords.dat for storing the cleartext database administrator password in the mnogosearch-common/database_admin_pass record which allows local users to view the password.
