DESCRIPTION:
Justin R. Beckley has reported a security issue in fai-client, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to view administrator
password hashes.

The security issue is caused due to the application storing the root
password hash in a log file with insecure permissions when using the
verbose mode during installation.

The security issue is reported in version 2.10 and 3.1.2. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Change the permissions of affected log files.

Don't use the verbose mode.
