Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-01-18 10:49:28 EST

A password disclosure flaw was found in the way Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite Server, RHN Proxy Server and Spacewalk performed new system registration in the case of XMLRPC call failure. If a RHN Satellite, Proxy or Spacewalk user submitted a XMLRPC system registration call (together with their credentials) and processing of this request resulted in a failure, RHN Satellite, Proxy or Spacewalk administrator could use this deficiency to obtain plaintext form of a password for particular RHN Satellite, Proxy or Spacewalk user.
