salt@3003 vulnerabilities

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal via the serve_file method, due to insufficient checks in the salt/fileserver/roots.py file.

Upgrade salt to version 3005.5 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal when establishing the syndic cache directory on the master.

Upgrade salt to version 3005.5 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. The Salt-SSH pre-flight option copies the script to the target at a predictable path, which allows an attacker to force Salt-SSH to run their script. If an attacker has access to the target VM and knows the path to the pre-flight script before it runs they can ensure Salt-SSH runs their script with the privileges of the user running Salt-SSH.

Upgrade salt to version 3005.4, 3006.4 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure and other possible impacts, due to a hash collision when using Git Providers reading from different environments. If Git Providers read from the wrong environment because they get the same cache directory base name, they could get bad data or unintended data. This could also lead to wrongful executions, data corruption or a crash.

Upgrade salt to version 3005.2, 3006.2 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) in the error message decoding mechanism in minion return. If the request server receives a number of requests equal to the number of worker threads, the master will become unresponsive to return requests until it is restarted.

Upgrade salt to version 3005.2, 3006.2 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via the status function.

There is no fixed version for salt.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) in junos ifconfig output parsing.

Upgrade salt to version 3004.1 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass where a previously authorized user whose account is locked can still run Salt commands. This affects both local shell accounts with an active session and salt-api users that authenticate via PAM eauth.

Workaround: If the user can not upgrade to the fixed version, it is possible to:

1. remove locked accounts rather than rely on Salt’s PAM eauth functionality.

2. change to a different eauth module.

Upgrade salt to version 3002.9, 3003.5, 3004.2 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control which allows users specified in the publisher_acl to publish authorized commands to any configured minion. Note: This requires a syndic master combined with publisher_acl configured on the Master-of-Masters.

Upgrade salt to version 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). A MiTM attacker to force a minion process to stop by impersonating a master.

Upgrade salt to version 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass which can allow attackers to substitute arbitrary pillar data, because Salt Masters do not sign pillar data with the minion’s public key.

Upgrade salt to version 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass which can result in an attacker replaying job publishes causing minions to run old jobs. File server replies can also be re-played. A sufficient craft attacker could gain root access to minion under certain scenarios.

Upgrade salt to version 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. A user who has control of the source and source_hash URLs, can gain full file system access as root on a salt minion.

Upgrade salt to version 3001.8, 3002.7, 3003.3 or higher.

salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. The salt minion installer will accept and use a minion config file at C:\salt\conf if that file is in place before the installer is run. This allows for a malicious actor to subvert the proper behavior of the given minion software.

The malicious actor must have access to a Windows system, permission to create directories and files on the root of the system drive, and create a malicious minion config at C:\salt\conf.

Upgrade salt to version 3001.8, 3002.7, 3003.3 or higher.
