The Smart-Proxy in Foreman before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the path parameter to tftp/fetch_boot_file.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The Smart-Proxy in Foreman before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the path parameter to tftp/fetch_boot_file. (CVE-2014-0007)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0770 advisory.

    The foreman-proxy package provides a RESTful API to manage DNS, DHCP, TFTP,     and Puppet settings, and can be used as part of Foreman.

    A shell command injection flaw was found in the way foreman-proxy verified     URLs in the TFTP module. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute     arbitrary shell commands on the system with the privileges of the user     running foreman-proxy. (CVE-2014-0007)

    This issue was discovered by Lukas Zapletal of Red Hat.

    Note that for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 3.0, Foreman was     released as a Technology Preview. More information about Red Hat Technology     Previews is available at     https://access.redhat.com/site/support/offerings/techpreview/

    All foreman-proxy users are advised to upgrade to this updated package,     which corrects this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote web server is running a version of Foreman Smart-Proxy TFTP that is affected by a remote command injection vulnerability. An attacker can send a specially crafted URL that results in the execution of arbitrary commands.
