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.

Security Fix(es):

• CloudForms did not properly apply permissions controls to

VM IDs passed by users. A remote, authenticated attacker could
use this flaw to execute arbitrary VMs on systems managed by
CloudForms if they know the ID of the VM. (CVE-2016-7071)

This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these changes
