| A flaw was found in cockpit-machines. Red Hat Subscription

| arguments to background helper processes during image retrieval
| operations. A local, unprivileged attacker on a system permitting
| cross-user process inspection can view these arguments while the
| process is active. This flaw can lead to information disclosure,
| potentially allowing unauthorized access to RHSM resources within
| the token's validity period.
