Official CH changelog text
Add a configuration parameter to hide addresses in stack traces. It may improve security a little but generally, it is harmful and should not be used. #39690 (Alexey Milovidov).
Introduces a configuration parameter to hide memory addresses in stack traces.

Why it matters

This feature aims to enhance security by obscuring memory addresses in stack traces, which can help reduce information leakage. However, it is generally discouraged as it may hinder debugging and is considered harmful in most scenarios.

How to use it

Enable the feature by setting the appropriate configuration parameter to hide addresses in stack traces within the ClickHouse server configuration file.
