Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) versions prior to 3.1

Description The issue allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Python module, specifically deployUtil.py or vds bootstrap.py, in the /tmp/ directory when adding a host.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.1, update to version 3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /tmp/ directory to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the deployUtil.py and vds bootstrap.py modules in the /tmp/ directory until the issue is resolved.
