Descriptions

The installation script in Katello 1.0 and earlier does not properly generate the Application.config.secret_token value, which causes each default installation to have the same secret token, and allows remote attackers to authenticate to the CloudForms System Engine web interface as an arbitrary user by creating a cookie using the default secret_token.

El script de instalación en Katello 1.0 y anteriores no genera correctamente el valor Application.config.secret_token, lo que hace que cada instalación por defecto tenga el mismo testigo secreto, y permite a atacantes remotos autenticarse en el sistema de interfaz web CloudForms Engine como un usuario arbitrario creando una cookie mediante el secret_token por defecto.
