CVE-2019-14846: Debian Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only; version 10.0 only
• Opensuse Backports Sle: version 15.0 only
• Opensuse Leap: version 15.1 only
