It was discovered that aria2 (the lightweight command-line download utility) can store passed user credentials in a log file when using the --log option. This might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 1.18.8-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your aria2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
