1. Summary:

An update for ansible is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10.0
(Newton).

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10.0 - noarch

3. Description:

Ansible is a radically 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 (2.2.1.0). (BZ#1412370)

Security Fix(es):

* An input validation vulnerability was found in Ansible's handling of data
sent from client systems. An attacker with control over a client system
being managed by Ansible and the ability to send facts back to the Ansible
server could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the Ansible server
using the Ansible-server privileges. (CVE-2016-9587)
