RedHat: RHSA-2014-0770:01 Critical: foreman-proxy security update
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.
A shell command injection flaw was found in the way foreman-proxy verified
URLs in the TFTP module. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute
arbitrary shell commands on the system with the privileges of the user
running foreman-proxy. (CVE-2014-0007)
