SB2019102433 - Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files in ansible (Alpine package)

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.

1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14858)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine 2.x up to 2.8 and Ansible tower 3.x up to 3.5. When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter name to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log options in the sub parameters are processed. As a result, data in the sub parameter fields will not be masked and will be displayed if Ansible is run with increased verbosity and present in the module invocation arguments for the task.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
