DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for sysreport. This fixes a security
issue, which may disclose sensitive information to malicious people.

The problem is that the sysreport utility includes the contents of
the "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date" configuration file, which may
contain a proxy password in plain text, when collecting information
for debugging and diagnostic purposes.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available from Red Hat Network.
