Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition. The ANSIBLE_ASYNC_DIR value defaults to ~/.ansible_async/ but is settable by the user.

When this occurs, there is a race condition on the managed machine. A malicious, low privileged account on the remote machine can pre-create /tmp/username-ansible-async and then use various attacks to access the async result data.
