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 09:31:56 UTC 
A flaw was found in the way Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 
and Spacewalk services managed user authentication. A time
delay was not inserted after each failed log in, which could
allow a remote attacker to conduct a password guessing attack
efficiently.
