Description Jakub Filak 2014-11-27 08:48:48 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1041558 +++

Description of problem:

It would be good if abrt filtered out "rootpw" lines from anaconda reports.  I know this is in the ks.cfg and the traceback files, perhaps others.

--- Additional comment from Orion Poplawski on 2014-11-05 00:48:44 CET ---

I think this is fairly important.  How can I help?

--- Additional comment from Jakub Filak on 2014-11-05 07:33:55 CET ---

It is already possible to highlight such lines, but auto-removing is not implemented yet. Would the highlighting be an acceptable solution to you?

--- Additional comment from Orion Poplawski on 2014-11-05 16:46:10 CET ---

It's better than nothing, but it should be auto-removed, especially since the text mode reporter makes it quite hard to find.

--- Additional comment from Jakub Filak on 2014-11-06 08:33:31 CET ---

Ah, I forgot on the text mode reporter. Hence I am adding a simple auto-remove utility for Anaconda reports in the following pull request:
https://github.com/abrt/libreport/pull/301

The pull request also enables highlighting of "rootpw" lines in the GUI reporter.

Vratislav, could you please take a look at that pull request?

Looks good to me.

--- Additional comment from Jakub Filak on 2014-11-26 11:06:51 CET ---

I opened another pull request for a patch making libreport aware of anaconda-tb:
https://github.com/abrt/libreport/pull/305

libreport cannot highlight all forbidden words in that file because the file contains too many false positives.

--- Additional comment from Orion Poplawski on 2014-11-26 16:18:33 CET ---

Would be nice to get this into F21 Final.

Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Accepted as a AcceptedFreezeException. A fix for this would be considered during freeze.
