Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2017-11-02 01:05:24 UTC
CVE-2016-1866 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-1866):
  Salt 2015.8.x before 2015.8.4 does not properly handle clear messages on the
  minion, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code
  by inserting packets into the minion-master data stream.

@Maintainers 2015.5.10 seems to be vulnerable, if that's the case, please remove it from tree.

Thank you
