CVE-2014-4678: ansible: safe_eval function does not properly restrict the code subset leads to arbitrary code execution via crafted instructions

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.8

The safe_eval function in Ansible before 1.6.4 does not properly restrict the code subset, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted instructions. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-4657.
