Synopsis

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

Description

Updated packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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

A session fixation flaw was found in the way RHN Satellite Server handled session cookies. An RHN Satellite Server user able to pre-set the session cookie in a victim's browser to a valid value could use this flaw to hijack the victim's session after the next log in.
(CVE-2011-0717)

A flaw was found in the way RHN Satellite Server managed user authentication. A time delay was not inserted after each failed log in, which could allow a remote attacker to conduct a password guessing attack efficiently. (CVE-2011-0718)

Red Hat would like to thank Thomas Biege of the SuSE Security Team for reporting these issues.

Users of RHN Satellite Server 5.4 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. RHN Satellite Server must be restarted ('rhn-satellite restart') for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
