Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw was found in Ansible. The ansible-core `user` module can allow an unprivileged user to silently
 create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged
 user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user
 has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control
 over the contents of the file as its owner. (CVE-2024-9902)
