CVE-2017-2639
This would allow an attacker to spoof RHEV or OpenShift systems and potentially harvest sensitive information from CloudForms.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
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.
