CVE-2014-0057

El método x_button en el controlador de servicio (vmdb/app/controllers/service_controller.rb) en Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 Management Engine 5.2 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar métodos arbitrarios a través de vectores no especificados.

Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control, and automation enterprises need to address the challenges of managing virtual environments, which are far more complex than physical ones. This technology enables enterprises with existing virtual infrastructures to improve visibility and control, and those just starting virtualization deployments to build and operate a well-managed virtual infrastructure. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Ruby parsed floating point numbers from their text representation. If an application using Ruby accepted untrusted input strings and converted them to floating point numbers, an attacker able to provide such input could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
