RHEL 5 : Red Hat Network Satellite Server (RHSA-2011:0300)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 63973

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for Red Hat Network Satellite Server.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:0300 advisory.

 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL Red Hat Network Satellite Server package based on the guidance in RHSA-2011:0300.
