Descriptions
yum-rhn-plugin in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 does not verify the SSL certificate for a file download from a Red Hat Network (RHN) server, which makes it easier for remote man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of updates) or force the download and installation of official Red Hat packages that were not requested.
yum-rhn-plugin en Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 no verifica el certificado SSL para un archivo descargado de un servidor Red Hat Network (RHN), lo que facilita a atacantes man-in-the-middle (hombre en el medio) remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (pérdida de actualizaciones) o forzar la descarga e instalación de paquetes Red Hat oficiales que no fueron solicitados.
