Secure testing team - Aug 2011 - Bug#637537: src:dtc: calls htpasswd with password passed as argument

Package: src:dtc
Version: 0.32.5-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream security
Justification: user security hole

dtc passes passwords to htpasswd using command line arguments. To quote
htpasswd(1):

  This option should be used with extreme care, since the password is
  clearly visible on the command line.
