Package: monit
Version: 1:5.2.3-2
Severity: important
Tags: security

When reporting a bug for monit with reportbug, reportbug tries to
include the config file /etc/monit/monitrc, but fails.

First, since /etc/monit/monitrc is expected to be protected against
reading, reportbug should not try to include it.

Moreover, under some conditions (e.g. reportbug is run as root, even
though this is discouraged), the file would be included, which can
be a security problem as the file can contain passwords.
