How to fix?

Upgrade cobbler to version 3.3.1 or higher.

Overview

cobbler is a network install server.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to improper sanitization of the run_triggers function in the modules/installation/pre_log.py module, which allows some user controller inputs to be appended in the /var/log/cobbler/install.log log file, exploiting this vulnerability might cause log file pollution.
