Overview
salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Local Privilege Escalation. A privilege escalation is possible on a SaltStack minion when an unprivileged user is able to create files in any non-blacklisted directory via a command injection in a process name.
