Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2011:0300 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: Red Hat Network Satellite Server security update 2011-02-23 19:01:26 UTC

Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-01-24 09:24:48 UTC 
A session fixation flaw was found in the way Red Hat
Network (RHN) Satellite and Spacewalk services handled
session cookies. An RHN Satellite or Spacewalk Server
user able to pre-set the session cookie in a victim's
browser to a valid value could use this flaw to hijack
the victim's session after the next log in.
