Description

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

 - A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine 2.x up to 2.8 and Ansible tower 3.x up to 3.5. When a module
 has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter name to the module
 will cause the task to fail before the no_log options in the sub parameters are processed. As a result,
 data in the sub parameter fields will not be masked and will be displayed if Ansible is run with increased
 verbosity and present in the module invocation arguments for the task. (CVE-2019-14858)
