A resource-consumption vulnerability was found in rubygem addressable, where its URI template implementation could allow an attacker's crafted template to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Statement
Red Hat CloudForms 5.0 (CFME 5.11) is in the maintenance support phase and we are no longer fixing Moderate/Low severity security bugs. Reference: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/cloudforms
OpenShift 3.11 components are currently in maintenance support phase, hence Moderate/Low severity security bugs are set as Out Of Support Scope (OOSS). Reference: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/openshift_noncurrent
Mitigation
Create template objects only from trusted sources that have been validated not to produce catastrophic backtracking.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
