Description

RedHat security team reports:

An input validation flaw was found in Ansible, where it fails to

properly mark lookup-plugin results as unsafe. If an attacker could

control the results of lookup() calls, they could inject Unicode

strings to be parsed by the jinja2 templating system, result in

code execution.
