DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has acknowledged a vulnerability in Red Hat Network Satellite
Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create new user accounts or
grant administrative privileges to user accounts when a logged-in
user visits a specially crafted web page.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
