Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a file is moved using atomic_move primitive as the file mode cannot be specified. This sets the destination files world-readable if the destination file does not exist and if the file exists, the file could be changed to have less restrictive permissions before the move. This could lead to the disclosure of sensitive data.
