Details

Red Hat Network Satellite Server version 5.0.2 is now available. This
update includes fixes for a number of security issues in Red Hat Network
Satellite Server Solaris client components.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

This release corrects several security vulnerabilities in various
components shipped as part of the Red Hat Network Satellite Server Solaris
client. In a typical operating environment, these components are not used
by the Satellite Server in a vulnerable manner. These security updates will
reduce risk should these components be used by other applications.

Two denial-of-service flaws were fixed in ZLib. (CVE-2005-2096,
CVE-2005-1849)

Multiple flaws were fixed in OpenSSL. (CVE-2006-4343, CVE-2006-4339,
CVE-2006-3738, CVE-2006-2940, CVE-2006-2937, CVE-2005-2969)

Multiple flaws were fixed in Python. (CVE-2007-4965, CVE-2007-2052,
CVE-2006-4980, CVE-2006-1542)

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.0.1 are advised to upgrade to
