Technical Analysis

This advisory covers a security update for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1.4, specifically a rebuild of ansible-core based on Python 3.9. It addresses three vulnerabilities: two sandbox breakout issues in Jinja (CVE-2024-56201 via malicious filenames and CVE-2024-56326 via indirect reference to the format method) and a vulnerability in ansible-core (CVE-2024-9902) that allows users to read or write unauthorized content. These vulnerabilities affect openstack-ansible-core versions prior to 17.1.4. The update fixes these issues and is classified as Important by Red Hat Product Security.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities allow for sandbox breakout in Jinja templates, potentially enabling malicious template code execution beyond intended restrictions, and unauthorized read/write access by ansible-core users. This could lead to unauthorized content access or modification within affected OpenStack deployments. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at the time of this advisory.

Mitigation Recommendations

A security update to openstack-ansible-core version 17.1.4 is available and should be applied to affected Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1 deployments. The update rebuilds ansible-core based on Python 3.9 and addresses the identified vulnerabilities. Refer to the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:1861 and the update article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 for detailed instructions. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
