Overview

CVE-2014-8170 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting ovirt ovirt-node. It was published on September 26, 2017 and has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

ovirt_safe_delete_config in ovirtfunctions.py and other unspecified locations in ovirt-node 3.0.0-474-gb852fd7 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3 do not properly quote input strings, which allows remote authenticated users and physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a ; (semicolon) in an input string.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ovirt. Update ovirt-node to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
