CVE-2014-4658
Published: 20 February 2020
The vault subsystem in Ansible before 1.5.5 does not set the umask before creation or modification of a vault file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive key information by reading a file.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that Ansible did not properly set permissions upon creation or modification of a vault file. A local attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information.
