RedHat: RHSA-2015-0288:01 Important: 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.
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.
