Descriptions

A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host.

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.
