Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU30585

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10206

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

ansible-playbook -k and ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

2) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU30582

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10217

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

A flaw was found in ansible 2.8.0 before 2.8.4. Fields managing sensitive data should be set as such by no_log feature. Some of these fields in GCP modules are not set properly. service_account_contents() which is common class for all gcp modules is not setting no_log to True. Any sensitive data managed by that function would be leak as an output when running ansible playbooks.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

3) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files

EUVDB-ID: #VU33354

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14846

CWE-ID: CWE-532 - Information Exposure Through Log Files

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.

Ansible, all ansible_engine-2.x versions and ansible_engine-3.x up to ansible_engine-3.5, was logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU30577

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14856

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

ansible before versions 2.8.6, 2.7.14, 2.6.20 is vulnerable to a None

5) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files

EUVDB-ID: #VU33375

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14858

CWE-ID: CWE-532 - Information Exposure Through Log Files

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine 2.x up to 2.8 and Ansible tower 3.x up to 3.5. When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter name to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log options in the sub parameters are processed. As a result, data in the sub parameter fields will not be masked and will be displayed if Ansible is run with increased verbosity and present in the module invocation arguments for the task.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

6) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU22872

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14864

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the Splunk and Sumologic callback plugins write sensitive information into log files. A local user with ability to read log files can gain access to sensitive information.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

7) OS Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU23449

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14904

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing zone names within the solaris_zone module. A remote uuser can provide a specially crafted zone name as a parameter to the os.system() call and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

8) OS Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU23450

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14905

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect validation of filenames within the nxos_file_copy module when copying files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices using the remote_file parameter. A local user or malicious code can abuse this functionality to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands on the system with elevated privileges.
