Overview
ansible is a simple IT automation system.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a user executes ansible-vault edit
, another user on the same computer can read the old and new secret, as it is created in a temporary file with mkstemp
and the returned file descriptor is closed and the method write_data
is called to write the existing secret in the file. This method will delete the file before recreating it insecurely.
