==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

cloud-init could write sensitive information to logs.

Software Description:
- cloud-init: initialization and customization tool for cloud instances

Details:

James Glovich discovered that sensitive data could be exposed in logs. An
attacker could use this information to find hashed passwords and possibly
escalate their privilege.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 23.04:
  cloud-init                      23.1.2-0ubuntu0~23.04.1

Ubuntu 22.10:
  cloud-init                      23.1.2-0ubuntu0~22.10.1

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
  cloud-init                      23.1.2-0ubuntu0~22.04.1

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
  cloud-init                      23.1.2-0ubuntu0~20.04.1

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
  cloud-init                      23.1.2-0ubuntu0~18.04.1

Ubuntu 16.04 ESM:
  cloud-init                      21.1-19-gbad84ad4-0ubuntu1~16.04.4
