Description Martin Prpič 2015-05-19 09:42:59 EDT

It was found that Salt does not verify the certificate when connecting via the aliyun, proxmox, and splunk modules.

This flaw has been fixed in version 2014.7.6:

Comment 1 Martin Prpič 2015-05-19 09:43:45 EDT

Created salt tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1222961]
Affects: epel-all [bug 1222962]

Comment 2 Erik Johnson 2015-05-27 12:00:49 EDT

This fix was part of 2015.5.0, which was packaged on 11 May 2015. Closing.

Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2015-05-27 12:43:16 EDT

We still want this open for some Red Hat products.  Thank you for updating Fedora/EPEL.

Comment 4 Erik Johnson 2015-05-27 12:46:25 EDT

Why?

Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2015-05-27 17:21:19 EDT

There are Red Hat products which include this component.  They will still be looked at to determine if this issue needs fixing there.  We want to keep this open until those are fully dealt with.  You can un-CC from this bug if you have no further action here.

Comment 6 Boris Ranto 2015-05-28 13:00:45 EDT

FWIW: Calamari (that uses salt) does not use any of these modules with salt, see:

Comment 7 Siddharth Sharma 2015-10-09 17:34:30 EDT

Salt package as shipped in ceph-1.2 and ceph-1.3 is affected , but it does not affect ceph in a way salt is used by calamari in ceph-1.2 and ceph-1.3 versions
