CVE-2017-15103  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-78  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 python-heketi to version 0:5.0.0-19.el7rhgs or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:3481.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-heketi package and not the python-heketi package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A security-check flaw was found in the way the Heketi 5 server API handled user requests. An authenticated Heketi user could send specially crafted requests to the Heketi server, resulting in remote command execution as the user running Heketi server and possibly privilege escalation.
