Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-06-15 14:09:55 UTC

It was found that application for listing of system groups in Red Hat Network
Satellite Server and Spacewalk services did not properly HTML escape
the content of QueryString. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct
XSS attacks, potentially leading into attacker's ability to steal
the users' session cookie.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank Daniel Karanja Muturi for reporting this issue.

I don't quite understand -- the problem (and the fix) is not in spacewalk-backend package.

Comment 14 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2011-09-16 09:32:20 UTC

Fixed in Spacewalk master, commit 2d9c34e7b682b375ea32595f0dd38b61f424a24f, tagged as spacewalk-java-1.6.46-1.

Comment 15 Vincent Danen 2011-09-16 17:40:13 UTC

Sorry, thanks for the Jan.  When initially filing this, I suspect some random spacewalk component was selected for the purpose of tracking bugs.  Thank you for clearing it up and resolving that invalid tracker.
