Cobbler is a network install server. Cobbler supports PXE, virtualizedinstalls, and re-installing existing Linux machines. Cheetah is a templateengine used by Cobbler to process kickstart files.A code injection flaw was found in the way Cobbler processed templates forkickstart files. A remote, authenticated user, that has the ConfigurationAdministrator role privilege, could use this flaw to create aspecially-crafted kickstart template file containing embedded Python codethat could, when processed by Cheetah, execute arbitrary code with rootprivileges on the Red Hat Network Satellite Server. (CVE-2010-2235)Red Hat would like to thank Doug Knight of the University of Alaska forreporting this issue.Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.3 are advised to upgrade tothis updated cobbler package, which contains backported patches to correctthis issue.
