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):

• 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)
