Descriptions

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine, in ansible-engine 2.8.x before 2.8.15 and ansible-engine 2.9.x before 2.9.13, when installing packages using the dnf module. GPG signatures are ignored during installation even when disable_gpg_check is set to False, which is the default behavior. This flaw leads to malicious packages being installed on the system and arbitrary code executed via package installation scripts. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity and system availability.

Se encontró un fallo en Ansible Engine, en ansible-engine versiones 2.8.x anteriores a 2.8.15 y ansible-engine versiones 2.9.x anteriores a 2.9.13, Cuando se instalan paquetes usando el módulo dnf. Unas firmas GPG son ignoradas durante la instalación incluso cuando disable_gpg_check es establecida en False, que es el comportamiento predeterminado. Este fallo conlleva a que son instalados paquetes maliciosos en el sistema y son ejecutados códigos arbitrarios por medio de scripts de instalación de paquetes. La mayor amenaza de esta vulnerabilidad es la integridad y la disponibilidad del sistema

Updated to the latest version of the git-python library to no longer cause certain jobs to fail Updated to the latest version of the ovirt.ovirt collection to no longer cause connections to hang when syncing inventory from oVirt/RHV Added a number of optimizations to Ansible Tower's callback receiver to improve the speed of stdout processing for simultaneous playbooks runs Added an optional setting to disable the auto-creation of organizations and teams on successful SAML login Fixed an XSS vulnerability Fixed a slow memory leak in the Daphne process Fixed Automation Analytics data gathering to no longer fail for customers with large datasets Fixed scheduled jobs that run every X minute or hour to no longer fail to run at the proper time Fixed delays in Ansible Tower's task manager when large numbers of simultaneous jobs are scheduled Fixed the performance for playbooks that store large amounts of data using the set_stats module Fixed the awx-manage remove_from_queue tool when used with isolated nodes Fixed an issue that prevented jobs from being properly marked as canceled when Tower is backed up and then restored to another environment. Issues addressed include cross site scripting and memory leak vulnerabilities.
