Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: cfme security and bug fix update

Notes

Topic
Updated cfme packages that fix one security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat CloudForms 3.0. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
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. It was found that the get and log methods of the AgentController wrote log messages without sanitizing user input. A remote attacker could use this flaw to insert arbitrary content into the log files written to by AgentController. (CVE-2014-0136) This issue was discovered by Jan Rusnacko of Red Hat Product Security. This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to in the References section. All users of Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues.
