Description Vincent Danen 2014-05-08 16:05:17 UTC

It was reported [1] that Cobbler suffers from a local file inclusion vulnerability where a remote user able to access the Cobbler WebUI could specify a full path to any desired file in the Kickstart value, and view the contents of that file.  For instance, by specifying '/etc/passwd' as the Kickstart value, a remote user could view the contents of that (or any other protected local file) on the system.

There is currently no upstream fix available.
