medium Nessus Plugin ID 131213

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for ansible.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2019:3928 advisory.

 Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically.

 Security Fix(es):

 Ansible: Splunk and Sumologic callback plugins leak sensitive data in logs (CVE-2019-14864)

 For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

 The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
 ansible (2.9.1)

 Bug Fix(es):

 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.9.1/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.9.rst for details on bug fixes in this release.
