+bugfixes:
+ - "**SECURITY** - CVE-2019-14846 - Several Ansible plugins could disclose aws credentials
+ in log files. inventory/aws_ec2.py, inventory/aws_rds.py,
+ lookup/aws_account_attribute.py, and lookup/aws_secret.py, lookup/aws_ssm.py use the
+ boto3 library from the Ansible process. The boto3 library logs credentials at log level
+ DEBUG. If Ansible's logging was enabled (by setting LOG_PATH to a value) Ansible would
+ set the global log level to DEBUG. This was inherited by boto and would then log boto
+ credentials to the file specified by LOG_PATH. This did not affect aws ansible modules
+ as those are executed in a separate process. This has been fixed by switching to log
+ level INFO"
