Red Hat Network Satellite Server version 5.1.1 is now available. This update includes fixes for a number of security issues in Red Hat Network Satellite Server components.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

During an internal security audit, it was discovered that Red Hat Network Satellite Server shipped with an XML-RPC script, manzier.pxt, which had a single hard-coded authentication key. A remote attacker who is able to connect to the Satellite Server XML-RPC service could use this flaw to obtain limited information about Satellite Server users, such as login names, associated email addresses, internal user IDs, and partial information about entitlements. (CVE-2008-2369)

This release also corrects several security vulnerabilities in various components shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.1. In a typical operating environment, these components are not exposed to users of Satellite Server in a vulnerable manner.

Multiple flaws were fixed in the Apache Tomcat package.
(CVE-2005-4838, CVE-2006-0254, CVE-2007-1355, CVE-2007-1358, CVE-2007-2449, CVE-2007-5461, CVE-2008-0128)

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.1 are advised to upgrade to 5.1.1, which resolves these issues.

Apache Project reports :

The Apache Tomcat team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Tomcat 4.1.36 stable. This build contains numerous library updates, A small number of bug fixes and two important security fixes.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 5.x listening on the remote host is prior to 5.5.21. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install is vulnerable to a     cross-site scripting attack. The client supplied     Accept-Language headers are not validated which allows     an attacker to use a specially crafted URL to inject     arbitrary HTML and script code into the user's browser.
    (CVE-2007-1358)

  - If the remote Apache Tomcat install is configured to use     the SingleSignOn Valve, the JSESSIONIDSSO cookie does     not have the 'secure' attribute set if authentication     takes place over HTTPS. This allows the JSESSIONIDSSO     cookie to be sent to the same server when HTTP content     is requested. (CVE-2008-0128)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install is affected by an     information disclosure vulnerability. The doRead method     fails to return the proper error code for certain error     conditions, which can cause POST content to be sent to     different, and improper, requests. (CVE-2008-4308)

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

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.3 which does not have the security update 2007-007 applied. 

This update contains several security fixes for the following programs :

 - bzip2
 - CFNetwork
 - CoreAudio
 - cscope
 - gnuzip
 - iChat
 - Kerberos
 - mDNSResponder
 - PDFKit
 - PHP
 - Quartz Composer
 - Samba
 - SquirrelMail
 - Tomcat
 - WebCore
 - WebKit

Updated tomcat packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Tomcat is a servlet container for Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies.

Tomcat was found to accept multiple content-length headers in a request. This could allow attackers to poison a web-cache, bypass web application firewall protection, or conduct cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2005-2090)

Tomcat permitted various characters as path delimiters. If Tomcat was used behind certain proxies and configured to only proxy some contexts, an attacker could construct an HTTP request to work around the context restriction and potentially access non-proxied content.
(CVE-2007-0450)

The implict-objects.jsp file distributed in the examples webapp displayed a number of unfiltered header values. If the JSP examples were accessible, this flaw could allow a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2006-7195)

Users should upgrade to these erratum packages which contain an update to Tomcat that resolves these issues. Updated jakarta-commons-modeler packages are also included which correct a bug when used with Tomcat 5.5.23.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 4.x listening on the remote host is prior to 4.1.36. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Requests containing multiple 'content-length' headers     are not rejected as invalid. This error can allow     web-cache poisoning, cross-site scripting attacks and     information disclosure. (CVE-2005-2090)

  - An input sanitization error exists that can allow     disclosure of sensitive information via directory     traversal. This vulnerability is exposed when the     server is configured to use the 'Proxy' module.
    (CVE-2007-0450)

  - 'Accept-Language' headers are not validated properly,     which can allow cross-site scripting attacks.
    (CVE-2007-1358)

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

According to its self-reported version number, the Apache Tomcat instance listening on the remote host is prior to 6.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due     to improper validation of user-supplied input before     returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially     crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's     browser session.

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