Salt 2015.8.13 Release Notes¶
Version 2015.8.13 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.
Security Fixes¶
CVE-2017-5192: local_batch client external authentication not respected
The LocalClient.cmd_batch() method client does not accept external_auth
credentials and so access to it from salt-api has been removed for now. This
vulnerability allows code execution for already-authenticated users and is only
in effect when running salt-api as the root user.
CVE-2017-5200: Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client
Users of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole when both systems were enabled.
We recommend everyone on the 2015.8 branch upgrade to a patched release as soon as possible.
