Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection. The solaris_zone module checks the status of the zone by executing an os.system() call and using the zone name as a parameter. A malicious user could provide a crafted zone name which allows commands to be executed into the server manipulating the module behaviour.
