DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in JBoss Cache, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

The weakness is caused due to the "getConnection()" function
(jboss/cache/loader/NonManagedConnectionFactory.java) logging
credentials in clear text when the connection fails.

The weakness is reported in version 3.2.8.GA. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the CVS repository.
