Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-03-20 16:36:23 UTC

A flaw was found in the way RHN Satellite rewrote certain URLs.
An unauthenticated user could use a specially-crafted HTTP
request to obtain sensitive information about the host system
RHN Satellite was running on. They could also use RHN Satellite
as a distributed denial of service tool, forcing it to connect
to an arbitrary service at an arbitrary IP address via a
specially-crafted HTTP request.
