PYSEC-2020-11

Quick fix

PYSEC-2020-11 — ansible: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'ansible>=2.7.17'

Details

A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior when a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
