Package : ansible Version : 2.10.7+merged+base+2.10.17+dfsg-0+deb11u3 CVE ID :
Debian Bug : #1080467

ansible 2.10.7+merged+base+2.10.17+dfsg-0+deb11u1 introduced a regression in the win_template module. This caused win_template tasks to fail with an error.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2.10.7+merged+base+2.10.17+dfsg-0+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ansible packages.
