How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 ansible-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ansible-doc package and not the ansible-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.
