rpassword affected by partial password reveal when input is interrupted

Attack Vector: Physical

The attack requires the attacker to physically touch or manipulate the vulnerable component. Physical interaction may be brief or persistent.

Attack Complexity: High

A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be expected. For example, a successful attack may require an attacker to: gather knowledge about the environment in which the vulnerable target/component exists; prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability; or inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim in order to read and/or modify network communications (e.g., a man in the middle attack).

Privileges Required: High

The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.

User Interaction: Required

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.

Scope: Unchanged

An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.

Confidentiality: High

There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.

Integrity: None

There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.

Availability: None

There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
