Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
There is no input validation or restriction during creating a new HW model.
The fields accept all sorts of characters that causes trouble in the url, since e.g. the hw model name is used in the url path.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.9-3

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new hw model with name e.g. "foo/" "<h>bar</h>"
2. after the hw model is being created, navigate to it > hw models>your model
3. receive 404

Actual results:
404 (the unescaped name is being used in the url path)

Expected results:
- restrict the valid characters and do the input validation
- escape or urlencode the characters
