Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a password is set with the argument password of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
