Description David Jorm 2014-06-09 23:22:37 EDT

It was found that the ovirt-engine REST API would resolve entities in XML API calls. A remote attacker with credentials to call the ovirt-engine REST API could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the ovirt-engine JBoss server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
