Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated spacewalk-backend packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having a moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite is a system management tool for Linux-based infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote management of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.

It was discovered that Red Hat Network Satellite did not fully check the authenticity of a client beyond the initial authentication check during an Inter-Satellite Sync operation. If a remote attacker were to modify the satellite-sync client to skip the initial authentication call, they could obtain all channel content from any Red Hat Network Satellite server that could be reached, even if Inter-Satellite Sync support was disabled. (CVE-2013-2056)

This issue was discovered by Jan Pazdziora of the Red Hat Satellite Engineering team.

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. For this update to take effect, Red Hat Network Satellite must be restarted.
Refer to the Solution section for details.
