The package salt before version 2017.7.1-1 is vulnerable to directory traversal. . Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201708-17 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2017-08-23 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-12791 Package : salt Type : directory traversal Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-383 Summary ====== The package salt before version 2017.7.1-1 is vulnerable to directory traversal. Resolution ========= Upgrade to 2017.7.1-1. # pacman -Syu "salt> =2017.7.1-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2017.7.1. Workaround ========= None. Description ========== It has been discovered that maliciously crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory traversals on the salt-master. The flaw is within the minion id validation which could allow certain minions to authenticate to a master despite not having the correct credentials. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must create a salt-minion with an ID containing characters that will cause a directory traversal. Impact ===== An unauthenticated attacker is able to craft a malicious minion ID to cause a directory traversal on the salt-master.

The package salt before version 2016.11.2-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and arbitrary command execution. . Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201701-41 ========================================= Severity: High Date : 2017-01-31 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-5192 CVE-2017-5200 Package : salt Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-159 Summary ====== The package salt before version 2016.11.2-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and arbitrary command execution. Resolution ========= Upgrade to 2016.11.2-1. # pacman -Syu "salt> =2016.11.2-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2016.11.2. Workaround ========= None. Description ========== - CVE-2017-5192 (arbitrary code execution) The `LocalClient.cmd_batch()` method client does not accept `external_auth` credentials and so access to it from salt-api has been removed for now. This vulnerability allows code execution for already- authenticated users and is only in effect when running salt-api as the `root` user. - CVE-2017-5200 (arbitrary command execution) Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client. Users of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole when both systems were enabled. Impact ===== A remote attacker is able to execute arbitrary commands on a salt master when salt is not configured properly. In addition, an authenticated attacker is able to execute arbitrary code on the salt stack if salt-api is run as root.
