Fedora 23: 2016-65519440f5 Moderate: Ansible Code Execution Issue

fedora
Calendar Grey April 25, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Essential patch for Fedora 23 that rectifies vulnerability exploitation in Ansible 1.9.6 while fixing existing errors.
Update to 1.9.6

Summary

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.

This package contains the older ansible-1.9.x package. Some people will have

trouble upgrading from 1.9.x to 2.0 so providing ansible-1.9.x in this package

as an interim measure.

Update Information:

Update to 1.9.6. Fixes bug #1327744 as well as CVE-2016-3096
