USN-6042-1 fixed a vulnerability in Cloud-init. The update introduced a regression on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS resulting in a possible loss of networking. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: James Golovich discovered that sensitive data could be exposed in logs. An attacker could use this information to find hashed passwords and possibly escalate their privilege.
Sensitive data could be exposed in logs of cloud-init before version 23.1.2. An attacker could use this information to find hashed passwords and possibly escalate their privilege.
Sensitive data could be exposed in world readable logs of cloud-init before version 22.3 when schema failures are reported. This leak could include hashed passwords.
When instructing cloud-init to set a random password for a new user account, versions before 21.2 would write that password to the world-readable log file /var/log/cloud-init-output.log. This could allow a local user to log in as another user.
In cloud-init through 19.4, rand_user_password in cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py has a small default pwlen value, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords.
