Summary
Security update for ansible
Details

This update for ansible fixes the following issues:

Security vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2018-16876: Respect no_log on retry and high verbosity (bsc#1118896)
  • CVE-2018-16859: Windows - prevent sensitive content from appearing in scriptblock logging (bsc#1116587)

  • CVE-2017-7481: Fixed a security issue with lookup return not tainting the jinja2 environment (bsc#1038785)

Other bug fixes and changes:

  • Update to version 2.7.6

    • Added log message at -vvvv when using netconf connection listing connection details.
    • Changes how ansible-connection names socket lock files. They now use the same name as the socket itself, and as such do not lock other attempts on connections to the same host, or cause issues with overly-long hostnames.

    • Moved error in netconf connection plugin from at import to on connection.
    • This reverts some changes from commit 723daf3. If a line is found in the file, exactly or via regexp matching, it must not be added again. insertafter/insertbefore options are used only when a line is to be inserted, to specify where it must be added.
