Description

OpenVMS contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. It is possible for passwords to be written to the audit log in cleartext due to an error in the 'NET$SESSION_CONTROL' module when a connection attempt with a correct password is made after a 'network breakin' event, which may lead to a loss of confidentiality.
