Ansible before 1.9.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
Vulnerabilidad en Ansible en versiones anteriores a 1.9.2, no verifica que el hostname del servidor coincida con un nombre de dominio en el Common Name (CN) del sujeto o el campo subjectAltName del certificado X.509, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle suplantar servidores SSL a través de un certificado arbitrario válido.
It was discovered that Ansible did not properly verify certain fields of X.509 certificates. An attacker could possibly use this issue to spoof SSL servers if they were able to intercept network communications. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Martin Carpenter discovered that certain connection plugins for Ansible did not properly restrict users. An attacker with local access could possibly use this issue to escape a restricted environment via symbolic links misuse. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
