>Number: 4078 >Category: bin >Synopsis: Typed password to log in on console and it displayed on screen >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Jul 12 07:00:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Keith Anderson >Organization: Key Internet Services >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386 >Environment: 2.2-STABLE as of Mon Jul 7 06:05:11 EST 1997 >Description: I left a trafshow session running on a virtual console. I was latter logged out from that console by a kill -HUP to the shell. The screen was still all blue. Some time later I logged in on that console again and my password came up in bright yellow as I typed it. I could still log in OK. >How-To-Repeat: Run trafshow on a console...log out your shell by kill -1 from another window and log back in. I cant reproduce this however...you might have to leave trafshow running for a few hours and then the console idle for a few hours after being logged out. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
