Description Kurt Seifried 2014-04-15 14:48:33 UTC 
Jan Rusnacko of the Red Hat Product Security Team reports:

Under certain circumstances wait_for_task CFME goes into an infinite loop
calling wait_for_task for ~10 sec until it throws an exception. If called 
repeatedly an attacker can effectively DoS the server.
