Description
A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform. When creating a new keypair, the ec2_key module prints out the private key directly to the standard output. This flaw allows an attacker to fetch those keys from the log files, compromising the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.SUSE information

Note from the SUSE Security Team
This is too hard to backport to our old ansible code currently. Administrators worrying about this can use the 'no_log=true' config option to suppress this logging. A future ansible version update provided by SUSE will have this fixed. SUSE Bugzilla entry: 1214115 [NEW] No SUSE Security Announcements cross referenced.Status of this issue by product and package
