Descriptions
The vds_installer in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) before 3.1, when adding a host, uses the -k curl parameter when downloading deployUtil.py and vds_bootstrap.py, which prevents SSL certificates from being validated and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via a man-in-the-middle attack.
El vds_installer en Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) anteriores a v3.1, cuando se añade un host, usa el parámetro "-k curl" cuando se descarga deployUtil.py y vds_bootstrap.py, lo que evita que los certificados SSL seran validados y permite a atacantes remotos a ejecutar código Python a través de un ataque "Man in the Middle".
