Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 Product Security and Bug Fix Update
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless language. Security Fix(es): * automation-controller: jinja2: accepts keys containing non-attribute characters (CVE-2024-34064) * automation-controller: jwcrypto: malicious JWE token can cause denial of service (CVE-2024-28102) * automation-controller: requests: subsequent requests to the same host ignore cert verification (CVE-2024-35195) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Updates and fixes for automation controller: * Fixed a bug where the controller does not respect "DATABASES[‘OPTIONS’]" setting, if specified (AAP-26398) * Changed all uses of "ImplicitRoleField" to perform an "on_delete=SET_NULL" (AAP-25136) * Fixed the HostMetric automated counter to display the correct values (AAP-25115) * Added Django logout redirects (AAP-24543) * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.8 Additional changes: * aap-metrics-utility has been updated to 0.3.0 (AAP-25875) * ansible-core has been updated to 2.15.12 (AAP-25536)
