salt vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Salt.

Software Description:
- salt: Infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus

Details:

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:

   salt-common                     0.17.5+ds-1ubuntu0.1~esm2
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   salt-master                     0.17.5+ds-1ubuntu0.1~esm2
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   salt-minion                     0.17.5+ds-1ubuntu0.1~esm2
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro

necessary changes.
