NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cloud-init package and not the cloud-init package as distributed by RHEL.
When a non-x86 platform is detected, cloud-init grants root access to a hardcoded url with a local IP address. To prevent this, cloud-init default configurations disable platform enumeration.
