Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2019-01-09 14:09:56 UTC 
Created c3p0 tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-7 [bug 1664731]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 1664730]
Comment 10 Richard Maciel Costa 2019-03-13 23:00:34 UTC 
Statement:

Red Hat Satellite 6 is not vulnerable to this issue, because the candlepin component who uses the c3p0 jar never passes a XML configuration file to c3p0, even though it includes a vulnerable version of the latter. Since this issue requires a XML files to be loaded by c3p0, an exploitation path doesn't exist.
