Security vulnerabilities fixed:

– CVE-2018-16876: Respect no_log on retry and high verbosity (bsc#1118896)
– CVE-2018-16859: Windows – prevent sensitive content from appearing in

Other bug fixes and changes:

– Update to version 2.7.6
* Added log message at -vvvv when using netconf connection listing
connection details.
* Changes how ansible-connection names socket lock files. They now use
the same name as the socket itself, and as such do not lock other
attempts on connections to the same host, or cause issues with
overly-long hostnames.
* Fix mandatory statement error for junos modules
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/50138)
* Moved error in netconf connection plugin from at import to on
connection.
* This reverts some changes from commit 723daf3. If a line is found in
the file, exactly or via regexp matching, it must not be added again.
insertafter/insertbefore options are used only when a line is to be
inserted, to specify where it must be added.

– bug fixes:
– **Security Fix** – Some connection exceptions would cause no_log
specified on a task to be ignored. If this happened, the task
information, including any private information coul d have been
displayed to stdout and (if enabled, not the default) logged to a log
file specified in ansible.cfg’s log_path. Additionally, sites which
redirected stdout from ansible runs to a log file may have stored that
private information onto disk that way as well.
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/41414)

– Implement mode=preserve for the template module
– The yaml callback plugin now allows non-ascii characters to be

a nonexistent file exists for the second and subsequent times
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39558)
– file module – The file module allowed the user to specify src as a
parameter when state was not link or hard. This is documented as only
applying to state=link or state=hard but in previous Ansible, this
could have an effect in rare cornercases. For instance, “ansible -m
file -a ‘state=directory path=/tmp src=/var/lib'” would create
/tmp/lib. This has been disabled and a warning emitted (will change
to an error in Ansible-2.10).
