Description:
Travis C Johnson has discovered a security issue in Acronis True Image Echo Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the application not correctly encrypting backups when the backup destination is an FTP server, which can be exploited to disclose sensitive information by e.g. intercepting the transfer.

The security issue is confirmed in Acronis True Image Echo Server build 8072 for Linux. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to Acronis True Image Echo Server build 8163.
