- release:
2015-03-22
Version 2015.5.10 is a bugfix release for 2015.5.0.
Security Fix¶
CVE-2016-3176 Insecure configuration of PAM external authentication service
This issue affects all Salt versions prior to 2015.8.8/2015.5.10 when PAM external authentication is enabled. This issue involves passing an alternative PAM authentication service with a command that is sent to LocalClient, enabling the attacker to bypass the configured authentication service. Thank you to Dylan Frese <dmfrese@gmail.com> for bringing this issue to our attention.
This update defines the PAM eAuth service that users authenticate against
in the Salt Master configuration.
No additional fixes are included in this release.
Read Before Upgrading Debian 8 (Jessie) from Salt Versions Earlier than 2015.5.9¶
Salt systemd service files are missing the following statement in these versions:
[Service]
KillMode=process
This statement must be added to successfully upgrade on these earlier versions of Salt.
