CVE-2017-2639: Red Hat Cloudforms

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

It was found that CloudForms does not verify that the server hostname matches the domain name in the certificate when using a custom CA and communicating with Red Hat Virtualization (RHEV) and OpenShift. This would allow an attacker to spoof RHEV or OpenShift systems and potentially harvest sensitive information from CloudForms.

Affected products

• Red Hat Cloudforms: version 4.5 only
• Red Hat Cloudforms Management Engine: version 5.8 only
