Red Hat Network (RHN) 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.
If a user submitted a system registration XML-RPC call to an RHN Satellite
server (for example, by running “rhnreg_ks”) and that call failed, their
RHN user password was included in plain text in the error messages both
stored in the server log and mailed to the server administrator. With this
update, user passwords are excluded from these error messages to avoid the
exposure of authentication credentials. (CVE-2012-0059)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
All users of Red Hat Network Satellite are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which correct these issues. For this update to take
