NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream salt package and not the salt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Salt 2015.8.x before 2015.8.4 does not properly handle clear messages on the minion, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code by inserting packets into the minion-master data stream.
