Red Hat Network Satellite Server version 5.0.1 is now available which fixes a security issue in version 5.0.0. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
During an internal code audit, a flaw was found in an unused back-end XMLRPC handler first added to Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.0.0. A remote attacker with valid authentication credentials who was able to connect to a Satellite Server could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the server as the 'apache' user. (CVE-2007-4132) Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.0.0 are advised to upgrade to 5.0.1 which removes the unused, vulnerable handler. Note: This issue did not affect the hosted version of Red Hat Network or versions of Red Hat Network Satellite Server prior to 5.0.0.
