Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1186-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1186-01 – The katello-configure package provides the katello-configure script, which configures the Katello installation, and the katello-upgrade script, which handles upgrades between versions. It was discovered that the default configuration of Elasticsearch enabled dynamic scripting, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter passed to _search. All Subscription Asset Manager users are advised to upgrade to this updated package. The update provides a script that modifies the elasticsearch.yml configuration file to disable dynamic scripting. After updating, run the “katello-configure” command. This will update the elasticsearch.yml configuration file and restart the elasticsearch service.

Cisco Security Advisory 20140908-ucse

Cisco Security Advisory – A vulnerability in the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC) SSH module of the Cisco Unified Computing System E-Series Blade servers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition. The vulnerability is due to a failure to properly handle a crafted SSH packet. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted packet to the SSH server running on the Cisco IMC of an affected device, which could result in the Cisco IMC becoming unresponsive. The operating system running on the blade will be unaffected. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.
