The (1) shell_exec function in lib/util/MiqSshUtilV1.rb and (2) temp_cmd_file function in lib/util/MiqSshUtilV2.rb in Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 Management Engine (CFME) before 5.2.4.2 allow local users to execute arbitrary commands via a symlink attack on a temporary file with a predictable name.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-3486 is a local command execution flaw in legacy Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine. A user already on the system could abuse predictable temporary files through a symlink attack to run arbitrary commands. It matters most for organizations still operating older CFME deployments. Exposure appears limited to legacy Red Hat CloudForms 3.0 Management Engine installations older than 5.2.4.2, especially where local shell access or compromised local accounts exist. Prioritize remediation if legacy CloudForms is still in production. The issue requires local access, but command execution on a management platform can materially increase impact after account compromise. Mitigation focus: Upgrade CloudForms Management Engine to 5.2.4.2 or later per Red Hat guidance.; Review RHSA-2014:0816 for the vendor-supported remediation path.; Restrict local user access on affected CFME hosts..
