Alpine: multiple ansible packages: security update to 1.6.6-r0 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 401195

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Ansible before 1.6.7 does not prevent inventory data with "{{" and "lookup" substrings, and does not
prevent remote data with "{{" substrings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1)
crafted lookup('pipe') calls or (2) crafted Jinja2 data. (CVE-2014-4966)

- Multiple argument injection vulnerabilities in Ansible before 1.6.7 allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code by leveraging access to an Ansible managed host and providing a crafted fact, as
demonstrated by a fact with (1) a trailing " src=" clause, (2) a trailing " temp=" clause, or (3) a
trailing " validate=" clause accompanied by a shell command. (CVE-2014-4967)
