Description

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.

  • An input validation flaw was found in the way CloudForms regular

expressions were passed to the expression engine via the JSON API and the
web-based UI. A user with the ability to view collections and filter them
could use this flaw to execute arbitrary shell commands on the host with
the privileges of the CloudForms process. (CVE-2016-7040)

This issue was discovered by Tim Wade (Red Hat).

Additional Changes:

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