CVE-2019-14846

En Ansible, todas las versiones de Ansible Engine hasta ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, se registraban en el nivel DEBUG, lo que conlleva a la divulgación de credenciales si un plugin usó una biblioteca que registraba credenciales en el nivel DEBUG. Este defecto no afecta a los módulos de Ansible, ya que son ejecutados en un proceso separado.

Ansible 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.

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.
