It has been discovered that the Bcfg2 server, a configuration management server for Bcfg2 clients, is not properly sanitizing input from Bcfg2 clients before passing it to various shell commands. This enables an attacker in control of a Bcfg2 client to execute arbitrary commands on the server with root privileges.
