Ubuntu Breezy stores the installation password in plain text
Ubuntu Breezy stores the installation password in plain text in two vulnerable files, /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat and /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf/questions.dat. An attacker can use the Kristian Hermansen's 'Eazy Breezy' Password Recovery Tool to extract the password from these files.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the vulnerable files are not readable by unauthorized users.
