Descriptions

Jenkins before 2.3 and LTS before 1.651.2 allows remote authenticated users to trigger updating of update site metadata by leveraging a missing permissions check. NOTE: this issue can be combined with DNS cache poisoning to cause a denial of service (service disruption).

Jenkins en versiones anteriores a 2.3 y LTS en versiones anteriores a 1.651.2 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados desencadenar actualizaciones de metadatos provenientes de portales de actualización aprovechando la falta de comprobación de permisos. NOTA: este problema puede darse en combinación con el envenenamiento de la caché DNS para provocar una denegación de servicio (interrupción de servicio).

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat is the company's cloud computing Platform- as-a-Service solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments. Jenkins is a continuous integration server that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Security Fix: The Jenkins continuous integration server has been updated to upstream version 1.651.2 LTS that addresses a large number of security issues, including open redirects, a potential denial of service, unsafe handling of user provided environment variables and several instances of sensitive information disclosure.
