The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 / 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:3203 advisory.

    Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task     execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on     remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines     automatically.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
    ansible (2.8.6)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * ansible: incomplete fix for CVE-2019-10206 (CVE-2019-14856)
    * ansible: sub parameters marked as no_log are not masked in certain failure scenarios (CVE-2019-14858)
    * ansible: secrets disclosed on logs when no_log enabled (CVE-2019-14846)

    See:

    https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.8.6/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.8.rst

    for details on bug fixes in this release.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This update for ansible to version 2.9.6 fixes the following issues :

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2019-14904: Fixed a vulnerability in solaris_zone     module via crafted solaris zone (boo#1157968).

  - CVE-2019-14905: Fixed an issue where malicious code     could craft filename in nxos_file_copy module     (boo#1157969).

  - CVE-2019-14864: Fixed Splunk and Sumologic callback     plugins leak sensitive data in logs (boo#1154830).

  - CVE-2019-14846: Fixed secrets disclosure on logs due to     display is hardcoded to DEBUG level (boo#1153452)

  - CVE-2019-14856: Fixed insufficient fix for     CVE-2019-10206 (boo#1154232)

  - CVE-2019-14858: Fixed data in the sub parameter fields     that will not be masked and will be displayed when run     with increased verbosity (boo#1154231) 

  - CVE-2019-10206: ansible-playbook -k and ansible cli     tools prompt passwords by expanding them from templates     as they could contain special characters. Passwords     should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and     exposing them. (boo#1142690)

  - CVE-2019-10217: Fields managing sensitive data should be     set as such by no_log feature. Some of these fields in     GCP modules are not set properly.
    service_account_contents() which is common class for all     gcp modules is not setting no_log to True. Any sensitive     data managed by that function would be leak as an output     when running ansible playbooks. (boo#1144453)
