RHEL 7 : CloudForms 4.6.4 (RHSA-2018:2561)

high Nessus Plugin ID 233185

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-2018:2561 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.

Security Fix(es):

* cfme: Improper access control in dRuby allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as root (CVE-2018-10905)

* rubygem-sprockets: Path traversal in forbidden_request?() can allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files (CVE-2018-3760)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Red Hat would like to thank Stephen Gappinger (American Express) for reporting CVE-2018-10905.

Additional Changes:

This update fixes various bugs and adds enhancements. Documentation for these changes is available from the Release Notes document.

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 packages.
