Descriptions

app/controllers/api/v1/hosts_controller.rb in Foreman before 1.2.2 does not properly restrict access to hosts, which allows remote attackers to access arbitrary hosts via an API request.

app/controllers/api/v1/hosts_controller.rb en Foreman anteriores a v1.2.2 no restringe correctamente el acceso a hosts arbitrarios a través de una petición API.

The Foreman packages provide facilities for rapidly deploying Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. These packages are provided as a Technology Preview. For more information on the scope and nature of support for items marked as Technology Preview, refer to https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/ A flaw was found in the API where insufficient privilege checks were conducted by the hosts controller, allowing any user with API access to control any host. A denial of service flaw was found in Foreman in the way user input was converted to a symbol. An authenticated user could create inputs that would lead to excessive memory consumption.
