RedHat: RHSA-2020-1543:01 Important: Ansible security and bug fix update
Summary
Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node
deployment, and remote-task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and
does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes.
Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to
managed machines automatically.
The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
ansible (2.8.11)
Bug Fix(es):
* CVE-2020-10684 Ansible: code injection when using ansible_facts as a
subkey
* CVE-2020-10685 Ansible: modules which use files encrypted with vault are
not properly cleaned up
* CVE-2020-1733 ansible: insecure temporary directory when running
become_user from become directive
* CVE-2020-1735 ansible: path injection on dest parameter in fetch module
* CVE-2020-1737 ansible: Extract-Zip function in win_unzip module does not
check extracted path
* CVE-2020-1739 ansible: svn module leaks password when specified as a
parameter
* CVE-2020-1740 ansible: secrets readable after ansible-vault edit
