Descriptions

Red Hat CloudForms 3.2 Management Engine (CFME) 5.4.4 and CloudForms 4.0 Management Engine (CFME) 5.5.0 do not properly encrypt data in the backend PostgreSQL database, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive data and consequently gain privileges by leveraging access to (1) database exports or (2) log files.

Red Hat CloudForms 3.2 Management Engine (CFME) 5.4.4 y CloudForms 4.0 Management Engine (CFME) 5.5.0 no cifra correctamente datos en el backend de base de datos PostgreSQL, lo que podría permitir a usuarios locales obtener datos sensibles y consecuentemente obtener privilegios aprovechándose del acceso a (1) exportaciones de base de datos o (2) archivos de registro.

A privilege escalation flaw was discovered in CloudForms, where in certain situations, CloudForms could read encrypted data from the database and then write decrypted data back into the database. If the database was then exported or log files generated, a local attacker might be able to gain access to sensitive information.
