How to fix?

This issue was patched in RHBA-2019:0802.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-websocket-proxy package and not the ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-websocket-proxy package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was discovered that in the ovirt's REST API before version 4.3.2.1, RemoveDiskCommand is triggered as an internal command, meaning the permission validation that should be performed against the calling user is skipped. A user with low privileges (eg Basic Operations) could exploit this flaw to delete disks attached to guests.
