Description msiddiqu 2020-05-04 18:36:12 UTC 
Ansible before 1.5.5 sets 0644 permissions for sources.list, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive credential information in opportunistic circumstances by reading a file that uses the "deb http://user:pass@server:port/" format.

Comment 2 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-05-05 11:30:55 UTC 
Red Hat CloudForms 5.10 (4.7) and 5.11 (5.0) do not ship `ansible` package, it is provided by the official Ansible repository.
Comment 3 Borja Tarraso 2020-05-05 12:56:24 UTC 
This is a bug for Ansible 1.5.4 and previous versions, really old, and fixed on 1.5.5 and after long time ago, when it was Ansible Core. Currently we support 2.9.x, 2.8.x, and 2.7.x. and from 2.4 it is called Ansible Engine. So Ansible in all supported current versions is not affected.
Comment 4 Hardik Vyas 2020-05-05 13:03:21 UTC 
Red Hat Ceph Storage and Red Hat Gluster Storage shipped ansible versions 2.4.1 and 2.3.2 respectively, which are not affected by this vulnerability.
