RHEL 5 / 6 : spacewalk-java (RHSA-2014:1762)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 79291

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated spacewalk-java packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Satellite 5.5 and 5.6.

Red Hat Product Security 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 Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote management of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool. The spacewalk-java packages contain the code for the Java version of the Spacewalk Website.

Stored and reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way spacewalk-java displayed certain information. By sending a specially crafted request to Satellite, a remote, authenticated attacker could embed HTML content into the stored data, allowing them to inject malicious content into the web page that is used to view that data. (CVE-2014-3654)

Red Hat would like to thank Ron Bowes of Google for reporting this issue.

All spacewalk-java users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
