Description

An updated MRG Management Console package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having 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 Enterprise MRG (Messaging, Realtime, and Grid) is a next-generation IT infrastructure for enterprise computing. MRG offers increased performance, reliability, interoperability, and faster computing for enterprise customers.

Several cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the MRG Management Console (Cumin). An authorized user on the local network could use these flaws to perform cross-site scripting attacks against MRG Management Console users. Note: Refer to the MRG Messaging User Guide for information on configuring authentication and authorization in the MRG Messaging broker. (CVE-2012-1575)

Users of Red Hat Enterprise MRG Management Console are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues. The MRG Management Console must be restarted ('service cumin restart') for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected cumin package.
