Summary

The foreman-proxy package provides a RESTful API to manage DNS, DHCP, TFTP, and Puppet settings, and can be used as part of Foreman.
It was discovered that foreman-proxy, when running in SSL-secured mode, did not correctly verify SSL client certificates. This could permit any client with access to the API to make requests and perform actions otherwise restricted. (CVE-2014-3691)
All foreman-proxy users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which corrects this issue.
