SB2020041628 - OpenSUSE Linux update for ansible

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10206)

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.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10217)

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.

3) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14846)

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.

4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14856)

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 (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14858)

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.

6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14864)

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.

7) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14904)

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.

8) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14905)

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.
