Foreman 1.11.4 security and bug fix release

Foreman 1.11.4 has now been released to our repositories with three
security fixes and a few bug fixes.

The security issues were:

  • CVE-2016-5390: API host interfaces data not restricted by view_hosts
    filters
  • CVE-2016-4995: information disclosure through unauthorized template
    previews
  • CVE-2016-4475: privilege escalation through orgs/location API and UI

See Foreman :: Security for more details.

Full release notes for all of the changes are on the website:
https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.11/index.html#Releasenotesfor1.11.4

Also a reminder - this is probably the last update to the 1.11.x series
as 1.12 is stable and highly recommended over 1.11.
