Quick fix

PYSEC-2017-82 — salt: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'salt>=2016.11.4'

Details

The salt-ssh minion code in SaltStack Salt 2016.11 before 2016.11.4 copied over configuration from the Salt Master without adjusting permissions, which might leak credentials to local attackers on configured minions (clients).
