RHEL 8 / 9 : Satellite 6.16.5.4 Async Update (Important) (RHSA-2025:17613)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 269754

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:17613 advisory.

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

Security Fix(es):

* cjson: out-of-bounds access in decode_array_index_from_pointer() in cJSON_Utils.c via crafted JSON pointer strings (CVE-2025-57052)

* python-django: Django SQL injection in FilteredRelation column aliases (CVE-2025-57833)

* puppet-agent: incomplete fix for CVE-2024-49761 (CVE-2025-10990)

* Fail to upgrade to Satellite 6.16 when Satellite has more than 520 users (SAT-38406)

* Ensure host key cleanup of /usr/share/foreman-proxy/.ssh/known_hosts on the Satellite (or Capsule) server when first remote execution is using Ansible (SAT-38408)

* Installer loads plugins from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/, breaking PostgreSQL config updates and thus upgrades from 6.15 to 6.16 (max_connections is not updated) (SAT-38410)

* Second container push set manifest size fields to -1, which breaks bootc (SAT-38411)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

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 affected cjson, puppet-agent and / or python3.11-django packages.
