Hi all, we’re happy to announce that 1.9.6-1 has been released.
As noted in the RC1 announcement, 1.9.6 fixes a few bugs introduced in the 1.9.5 release, as well as a security flaw:
- Fixes several security bugs in the lxc_container module, which could result in someone with local privileges modifying a script which was being created with world-writable permissions, resulting in that new script being run with root permission. If you’re using this module, you should upgrade immediately.
- Fixes a bug where --limit was incorrectly affecting inventory variables being read.
- Fixes a bug where a role parameter named ‘name’ would incorrectly be used as the name of the role.
As always, this update is available via PyPi and releases.ansible.com now. Packages for other distros will be available as soon as possible.
Thanks and enjoy!
