PYSEC-2015-1

Quick fix

PYSEC-2015-1 — ansible: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'ansible>=1.9.2'

Details

Ansible before 1.9.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
