Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-0879-01 - Red Hat Network Satellite provides a solution to organizations requiring absolute control over and privacy of the maintenance and package deployment of their servers. It allows organizations to utilize the benefits of the Red Hat Network without having to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It was found that RHN Satellite did not protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. If an authenticated RHN Satellite user visited a specially-crafted web page, it could lead to unauthorized command execution with the privileges of that user, for example, creating a new user account, granting administrator privileges to user accounts, disabling the account of the current user, and so on. Various other issues were also addressed.
