NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream salt package and not the salt package as distributed by Debian.

Salt (aka SaltStack) before 0.17.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary YAML code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the vendor states that this might not be a vulnerability because the YAML to be loaded has already been determined to be safe.
