Package: iodine
Version: 0.4.0-1
Severity: normal
Because the password is stored in /etc/default/iodine please make sure
to install this file with 600 access mode.
Also, please modify iodine/iodined to XXX out the password passed to it
via the command line. This is not a perfect but certainly substantial
security improvement because it makes the password not show up in most
"ps xawww" calls.
memset(argv[n], 'X', strlen(argv[n])) shold do the job in n is the
argument number with the password.
Thanks,
Lennart
