Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2013:1863 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: candlepin security update 2013-12-20 04:00:32 UTC

Description Garth Mollett 2013-12-13 04:11:36 UTC 
Devan Goodwin <dgoodwin> reports:

We have identified a fairly serious security issue in previous, or
upgraded versions of Subscription Asset Manager (SAM).

The issue was caused by an extremely insecure authentication mode in the
candlepin project, which was mistakenly enabled by default if no setting
was specified in the config file.
