Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 Container Release 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): * ansible-lightspeed-container: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through malicious filenames (CVE-2024-56201) * ansible-lightspeed-container: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through indirect reference to format method (CVE-2024-56326) * ansible-lightspeed-container: aiohttp vulnerable to request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of chunk extensions (CVE-2024-52304) * ansible-lightspeed-container: Denial of Service through Data corruption in gRPC-C++ (CVE-2024-11407) Update(s) and fix(es): * The ansible.controller collection has been updated to 4.6.6 (AAP-38443) * Database replicas can now be configured for the operator-managed AAP centralized PostgreSQL database (AAP-38145) * Apply EDA API resource requirements for cpu and memory to the nginx container that serves up the browsable API for EDA. Allow overriding memory requests and limits to satisfy ResourceQuotas in quota constrained environments (AAP-38140)
