2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:

Red Hat Satellite is a system management tool for Linux-based
infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote
management of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.

It was found that the RPC interface in Satellite would resolve external
entities, allowing an attacker to conduct XML External Entity (XXE)
attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to
the user running the Satellite server, and potentially perform other more
advanced XXE attacks. (CVE-2014-8162)

Red Hat would like to thank Travis Emmert for reporting this issue.

All spacewalk users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
