Ansible before 1.5.5 constructs filenames containing user and password fields on the basis of deb lines in `sources.list`, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive credential information in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging existence of a file that uses the `deb http://user:pass@server:port/` format.
