USN-4459-1: Salt vulnerabilities
13 August 2020

Several security issues were fixed in Salt.
Releases

  o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  o Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Packages

  o salt - Infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus

Details

It was discovered that Salt allows remote attackers to determine which files
exist on the server. An attacker could use that to extract sensitive
information. (CVE-2018-15750)

It was discovered that Salt has a vulnerability that allows an user to bypass
authentication. An attacker could use that to extract sensitive information,
execute abritrary code or crash the server. (CVE-2018-15751)

It was discovered that Salt is vulnerable to command injection. This allows
an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the API endpoint to
execute arbitrary code on the salt-api host. (CVE-2019-17361)

It was discovered that Salt incorrectly validated method calls and
sanitized paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to access
some methods without authentication. (CVE-2020-11651, CVE-2020-11652)

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package
versions:

Ubuntu 18.04

  o salt-api - 2017.7.4+dfsg1-1ubuntu18.04.2
  o salt-common - 2017.7.4+dfsg1-1ubuntu18.04.2
  o salt-master - 2017.7.4+dfsg1-1ubuntu18.04.2
