How to Fix CVE-2017-15113

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ovirt engine sdk java dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.ovirt.engine.sdk:ovirt-engine-sdk-java fixed: 4.1.7.6 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.ovirt.engine.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>ovirt-engine-sdk-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.7.6</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.ovirt.engine.sdk

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2017-15113, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.ovirt.engine.sdk

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ovirt engine sdk java in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.1.7.6), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.ovirt.engine.sdk command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File, where the product writes sensitive information to a log file. In Ovirt engine sdk java, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

ovirt-engine before version 4.1.7.6 with log level set to DEBUG includes passwords in the log file without masking. Only administrators can change the log level and only administrators can access the logs. This presents a risk when debug-level logs are shared with vendors or other parties to troubleshoot issues.
