FKIE_CVE-2012-0861

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2013-01-04 22:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:38
Severity
Summary
The vds_installer in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) before 3.1, when adding a host, uses the -k curl parameter when downloading deployUtil.py and vds_bootstrap.py, which prevents SSL certificates from being validated and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via a man-in-the-middle attack.
