(RHSA-2012:0101) Low: Red Hat Network Satellite spacewalk-backend security and bug fix update

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:

• When activating a new RHN Satellite certificate that has less
  entitlements than is currently used or allotted on the Satellite server,
  the error message notified the user only about the first problem
  encountered and did not include directions for resolution. With this
  update, more verbose error messages are shown in this scenario. (BZ#209514,
  BZ#704623)

All users of Red Hat Network Satellite are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which correct these issues. For this update to take
effect, Red Hat Network Satellite must be restarted. Refer to the Solution
section for details.
