Bug#800772: Password leaked into process list with p7zip

Package: file-roller
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: important

When producing an encrypted 7z archive the following leaks into ps
output:

/usr/lib/p7zip/7z a -bd -y -p<pass> -mx=7 -i@<file-list> --
<output-file>

The password should instead be passed via stdin or through some
other mechanism because this way it is leaked to other users on
the same system.
