Descriptions

lib/util/miq-password.rb in Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 Management Engine (CFME) before 5.2.4.2 uses a hard-coded salt, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess passwords via a brute force attack.

lib/util/miq-password.rb en Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 Management Engine (CFME) anterior a 5.2.4.2 utiliza un salt embebido, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos adivinar contraseñas a través de un ataque de fuerza bruta.

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 framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view components. The SSH utility script created a world-writable file in /tmp/ using a predictable name, and then executed it as root. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands as the root user. A directory traversal flaw was found in the way Ruby on Rails handled wildcard segments in routes with implicit rendering. A remote attacker could use this flaw to retrieve arbitrary local files accessible to a Ruby on Rails application using the aforementioned routes via a specially crafted request.
