A flaw was found in the way Ansible (2.3.x before 2.3.3, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1) passed certain parameters to the jenkins_plugin module. Remote attackers could use this flaw to expose sensitive information from a remote host's logs. This flaw was fixed by not allowing passwords to be specified in the "params" argument, and noting this in the module documentation.

Update to ansible 2.4.1.0 with various bugfixes. See https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.4/CHANGELOG.md for a full list of changes.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for ansible to version 2.4.1.0 fixes the following vulnerabilities :

  - CVE-2017-7481: Security issue with lookup return not     tainting the jinja2 environment (bsc#1038785)

  - CVE-2016-9587: host to controller command execution     vulnerability (bsc#1019021)

  - CVE-2017-7550: jenkins_plugin module may have exposed     passwords in remote host logs (bsc#1065872)

This update also contains a number of upstream bug fixes and improvements.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2966 advisory.

    Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task     execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on     remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines     automatically.

    The ansible packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.4.0, which provides a number of bug fixes     and enhancements over the previous version. For more information, please see the Ansible 2.4 Porting Guide     linked in the References section. (BZ#1492477)

    Security Fix(es):

    * A flaw was found in the way Ansible passed certain parameters to the jenkins_plugin module. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to expose sensitive information from a remote host's logs. This flaw was     fixed by not allowing passwords to be specified in the params argument, and noting this in the module     documentation. (CVE-2017-7550)

    Red Hat would like to thank Stefano Mazzucco (Kirontech) for reporting this issue.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * A bug in the SELinux module, which caused a corruption of the SELinux configuration file, has been     fixed.

    * Previously, some of the functionality of Ansible (the json_query filter) was unavailable, because the     dependency on the python2-jmespath package was missing. Now, the missing dependency has been added.
    (BZ#1484910)
