1. Summary:

An updated katello-configure package that fixes one security issue is now
available for Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security
impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the
References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager for RHEL 6 Server - noarch

3. Description:

The katello-configure package provides the katello-configure script, which
configures the Katello installation, and the katello-upgrade script, which
handles upgrades between versions.

It was discovered that the default configuration of Elasticsearch enabled
dynamic scripting, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary MVEL
expressions and Java code via the source parameter passed to _search.
(CVE-2014-3120)

All Subscription Asset Manager users are advised to upgrade to this updated
package. The update provides a script that modifies the elasticsearch.yml
configuration file to disable dynamic scripting. After updating, run the
"katello-configure" command. This will update the elasticsearch.yml
configuration file and restart the elasticsearch service.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied. After updating, run the
"katello-configure" command to apply the needed configuration changes.
