When updating a password in the rhvm database the ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool tools before 1.1.3 fail to correctly check for the current password if it is expired. This would allow access to an attacker with access to change the password on accounts with expired passwords, gaining access to those accounts.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-2614 affects Red Hat ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool password updates for RHVM database accounts. When an account password is expired, the tool may fail to correctly verify the current password, allowing someone with access to change that password to take over the account. Exposure is likely limited to RHVM or oVirt environments using the affected ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-jdbc tooling with expired user passwords. The sources do not indicate broad remote internet exposure. Treat as a moderate-priority identity risk for affected virtualization management environments. Prioritize patch verification because account takeover in RHVM administration contexts can affect sensitive infrastructure operations. Mitigation focus: Review RHSA-2017:0257 and apply the Red Hat-provided update.; Ensure ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool is not older than 1.1.3 where applicable.; Review expired RHVM database accounts for unauthorized password changes..
