Red Hat Redhat Satellite 5.4

It was found that Satellite 5 configured with SSL/TLS for the PostgreSQL backend failed to correctly validate X.509 server certificate host name fields. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof a PostgreSQL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate.

Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3 and 5.4 exposes a dangerous, obsolete XML-RPC API, which allows remote authenticated users to access arbitrary files and cause a denial of service (failed yum operations) via vectors related to configuration and package group (comps.xml) files for channels.

spacewalk-backend in Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 does not properly authorize or authenticate uploads to the NULL organization when mod_wsgi is used, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (/var partition disk consumption and failed updates) via a large number of package uploads.

The Inter-Satellite Sync (ISS) operation in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5 does not properly check client "authenticity," which allows remote attackers to obtain channel content by skipping the initial authentication call.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in spacewalk-java 1.2.39, 1.7.54, and 2.0.2 in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.4 through 5.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted request that is not properly handled when logging.
