Hi all, we’re happy to announce a twofer:
Ansible 1.9.6 RC1 is available for testing, and fixes a couple of bugs introduced by the 1.9.5 release:
- 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.
- 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.
Ansible 2.0.2 RC3 likewise includes the fix for the lxc_container bug, as well as another minor bug related to using hostvars in a delegated action (which includes the use of local_action).
