Package: nullmailer
Version: 1:1.13-1.2

To reproduce, install nullmailer, add a remote servers using smtp with user/password via debian configuration. The stmp server user and password will be stored in /etc/nullmailer/remotes with mode 600, user mail:mail. When e-mails are send the smtp helper is called with the credentials in the command line. Any local user can now see the password using ps, etc:

heinz@.....:~$ ps ax | grep smtp
11252 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/nullmailer/smtp -d -s --ssl --user=...@abstracture.de --pass=XXXX smtp.mail.com
11254 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep smtp

I have replaced the actual password with XXXX in this example.

Expected behaviour is not to show the smtp password in the command line to any user.

Regards,

Martin Wache
