Summary

ovirt_safe_delete_config in ovirtfunctions.py and other unspecified locations in ovirt-node 3.0.0-474-gb852fd7 as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3 do not properly quote input strings, which allows remote authenticated users and physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a ; (semicolon) in an input string.
