Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for CloudForms Commons 1.1.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1542 advisory.

Red Hat CloudForms is an on-premise hybrid cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) product that lets you create and manage private and public clouds.

Multiple input validation vulnerabilities were discovered in rubygem-activerecored. A remote attacker could possibly use these flaws to perform an SQL injection attack against an application using rubygem-activerecord. (CVE-2012-2660, CVE-2012-2661, CVE-2012-2694, CVE-2012-2695)

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in rubygem-actionpack.
A remote attacker could use these flaws to conduct XSS attacks against users of an application using rubygem-actionpack. (CVE-2012-3463, CVE-2012-3464, CVE-2012-3465)

A flaw was found in the HTTP digest authentication implementation in rubygem-actionpack. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service of an application using rubygem-actionpack and digest authentication. (CVE-2012-3424)

An input validation flaw was found in rubygem-mail's Exim and Sendmail delivery methods. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of an application using rubygem-mail. (CVE-2012-2140)

A directory traversal flaw was found in rubygem-mail's file delivery method. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a mail with a specially crafted To: header and write to files with the privileges of an application using rubygem-mail. (CVE-2012-2139)

Puppet was updated to version 2.6.17, which fixes multiple security issues. These issues are not exposed by CloudForms. (CVE-2012-1986, CVE-2012-1987, CVE-2012-1988, CVE-2012-3864, CVE-2012-3865, CVE-2012-3867)

Red Hat would like to thank Puppet Labs for reporting CVE-2012-1988, CVE-2012-1986, CVE-2012-1987, CVE-2012-3864, CVE-2012-3865, and CVE-2012-3867.

Users are advised to upgrade to these CloudForms Commons packages, which resolve these issues.

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL CloudForms Commons 1.1 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2012:1542.
