RHEL 7 : CFME 5.7.1 es update (Moderate) (RHSA-2017:0320)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 233184

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0320 advisory.

Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control, and automation needed to address the challenges of managing virtual environments. CloudForms Management Engine is built on Ruby on Rails, a model-view controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view components.

This update fixes various bugs and adds several enhancements. Documentation for these changes is available in the Release Notes linked to in the References section.

Security Fix(es):

* A logic error in valid_role() in CloudForms role validation could allow a tenant administrator to create groups with a higher privilege level than the tenant administrator should have. This would allow an attacker with tenant administration access to elevate privileges. (CVE-2017-2632)

This issue was discovered by Matou Moj (Red Hat).

All CFME users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.

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 affected cfme, cfme-appliance and / or cfme-gemset packages.
