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 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1299 advisory.

Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite provides a solution to organizations requiring absolute control over and privacy of the maintenance and package deployment of their servers. It allows organizations to utilize the benefits of the Red Hat Network without having to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the RHN Satellite web interface. A remote attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting attack against victims using the RHN Satellite web interface. (CVE-2011-2919, CVE-2011-2920, CVE-2011-2927, CVE-2011-3344)

An open redirect flaw was found in the RHN Satellite web interface login page. A remote attacker able to trick a victim to open the login page using a specially-crafted link could redirect the victim to an arbitrary page after they successfully log in. (CVE-2011-1594)

Red Hat would like to thank Daniel Karanja Muturi for reporting CVE-2011-2919; Nils Juenemann and The Bearded Warriors for independently reporting CVE-2011-2920; Nils Juenemann for reporting CVE-2011-2927;
Sylvain Maes for reporting CVE-2011-3344; and Thomas Biege of the SuSE Security Team for reporting CVE-2011-1594.

This update also adds the following enhancement:

* Session cookies set by RHN Satellite are now marked as HTTPOnly. This setting helps reduce the impact of cross-site scripting flaws by instructing the browser to disallow scripts access to those cookies.
(BZ#713477)

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4.1 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain patches to correct these issues and add this enhancement. For this update to take effect, Red Hat Network Satellite must be restarted. Refer to the Solution section for details.

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-2011:1299.
