TITLE:
Fedora update for duplicity

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA28917

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/28917/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Fedora 7
http://secunia.com/product/15552/
Fedora 8
http://secunia.com/product/16769/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for duplicity. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose
sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the FTP backend of duplicity
passing sensitive information to ncftp via the command line. This can
be exploited to disclose the password by e.g. using the "ps" command.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update duplicity").

Note: This update breaks the command syntax compatibility. For more
