CVE-2021-33226 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
This was deemed not a vulnerability.
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 Buffer Overflow. The vulnerability has been disputed because the alleged code-execution path is not actually under the attacker's control. The CVE claim is based on an eval() call in Salt's status.py, but according to the dispute, an attacker cannot supply arbitrary input to the expression being evaluated, so there is no practical exploit path.
