DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in ldapscripts, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive
information.

The security issue is caused due to certain scripts of ldapscripts
passing sensitive information (e.g. user credentials) to other
applications as command line parameter, which can be exploited to
disclose the information by e.g. using the "ps" command.

The security issue is reported in version 1.4 and 1.7. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
