Fixed In Version: ovirt-engine 4.3.2.1
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
It was discovered that in the ovirt REST API, RemoveDiskCommand is triggered as an internal command, meaning the permission validation that should be performed against the calling user is skipped. A user with low privileges (e.g. Basic Operations) could exploit this flaw to delete disks attached to guests.
