How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 piranha to version 0:0.8.6-4.el6_5.2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2014:0175.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream piranha package and not the piranha package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Piranha Configuration Tool in Piranha 0.8.6 does not properly restrict access to webpages, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read or modify the LVS configuration via an HTTP POST request.
