NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ansible.src package and not the ansible.src package as distributed by RHEL.

Ansible "User" module leaks any data which is passed on as a parameter to ssh-keygen. This could lean in undesirable situations such as passphrases credentials passed as a parameter for the ssh-keygen executable. Showing those credentials in clear text form for every user which have access just to the process list.
