Description

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine, in ansible-engine 2.8.x before 2.8.15 and ansible-engine 2.9.x before 2.9.13, when installing packages using the dnf module. GPG signatures are ignored during installation even when disable_gpg_check is set to False, which is the default behavior. This flaw leads to malicious packages being installed on the system and arbitrary code executed via package installation scripts. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity and system availability.

Affected configurations

• redhat ansible engine (>= 2.8.0 <= 2.8.15) • redhat ansible engine (>= 2.9.0 <= 2.9.13) • redhat ansible tower (>= 3.6.0 <= 3.6.5) • redhat ansible tower (>= 3.7.0 <= 3.7.2) • redhat ansible tower 3.0 • redhat ceph storage 2.0 • redhat ceph storage 3.0 • redhat openstack platform 10.0 • redhat openstack platform 13.0 • debian debian linux 10.0
