Red Hat Satellite before 6.5 is vulnerable to a XSS in discovery rule when you are entering filter and you use autocomplete functionality.

Jon Siwek of Corelight reports :

The following Denial of Service vulnerabilities are addressed :

- Integer type mismatches in BinPAC-generated parser code and Bro analyzer code may allow for crafted packet data to cause unintentional code paths in the analysis logic to be taken due to unsafe integer conversions causing the parser and analysis logic to each expect different fields to have been parsed. One such example, reported by Maksim Shudrak, causes the Kerberos analyzer to dereference a null pointer. CVE-2019-12175 was assigned for this issue.

- The Kerberos parser allows for several fields to be left uninitialized, but they were not marked with an &optional attribute and several usages lacked existence checks. Crafted packet data could potentially cause an attempt to access such uninitialized fields, generate a runtime error/exception, and leak memory. Existence checks and &optional attributes have been added to the relevent Kerberos fields.

- BinPAC-generated protocol parsers commonly contain fields whose length is derived from other packet input, and for those that allow for incremental parsing, BinPAC did not impose a limit on how large such a field could grow, allowing for remotely-controlled packet data to cause growth of BinPAC's flowbuffer bounded only by the numeric limit of an unsigned 64-bit integer, leading to memory exhaustion.
There is now a generalized limit for how large flowbuffers are allowed to grow, tunable by setting 'BinPAC::flowbuffer_capacity_max'.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2927 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructure.
    It allows for provisioning, remote management, and monitoring of multiple Linux deployments with a single     centralized tool.
