[salt-users] 20181024 2018.3.3 Released - Security Advisory

[debian-lts-announce] 20200728 [SECURITY] [DLA 2294-1] salt security update

USN-4459-1

It was discovered that Salt allows remote attackers to determine which files exist on the server. An attacker could use that to extract sensitive information. (CVE-2018-15750) It was discovered that Salt has a vulnerability that allows an user to bypass authentication. An attacker could use that to extract sensitive information, execute abritrary code or crash the server. (CVE-2018-15751) It was discovered that Salt is vulnerable to command injection. This allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the API endpoint to execute arbitrary code on the salt-api host. (CVE-2019-17361) It was discovered that Salt incorrectly validated method calls and sanitized paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to access some methods without authentication. (CVE-2020-11651, CVE-2020-11652).

Two issues have been found in salt, a remote manager to administer servers.

These issues are related to remote hackers bypassing authentication to execute arbitrary commands and getting informations about files on the server

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2016.11.2+ds-1+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your salt packages.

For the detailed security status of salt please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/salt
