CVE-2014-6261

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Zenoss Core versions through 5 Beta 3

Description The issue is related to the improper implementation of the Check For Updates feature. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by either spoofing the callhome server or by deploying a crafted web site that is visited during a login session.

Recommendations For Zenoss Core versions through 5 Beta 3, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Check For Updates feature until a patch is available. Restrict access to the callhome server and avoid visiting untrusted web sites during login sessions to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
