Descriptions

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in systems/sdc/notes.jsp in Spacewalk and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.6 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) subject or (2) content values of a note in a system.addNote XML-RPC call.

MĂșltiples vulnerabilidades de XSS en systems/sdc/notes.jsp en Spacewalk y Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.6 permiten a atacantes remotos inyectar script Web o HTML arbitrarios a travĂ©s de los valores de (1) asunto o (2) contenido de una nota en una llamada XML-RPC a system.addNote.

Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, remote management and monitoring of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool. A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way the Red Hat Satellite web interface performed sanitization of notes for registered systems. A remote authenticated Red Hat Satellite user could create a malicious note that, when viewed by a victim, could execute arbitrary web script with the privileges of the user viewing that note. Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were found in the Red Hat Satellite web interface. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted link that, when visited by an authenticated Red Hat Satellite user, would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's web interface session.
