It was discovered that the RMI (Java Remote Method Invocation) server implementation in the JMX (Java Management Extensions) component of OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when deserializing authentication credentials. A remote unauthenticated attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw trigger deserialization flaws.
It was found that logback is vulnerable to a deserialization issue. Logback can be configured to allow remote logging through SocketServer/ServerSocketReceiver interfaces that can accept untrusted serialized data. Authenticated attackers on the adjacent network can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code through deserialization of custom gadget chains.

A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind in versions before 2.8.10 and 2.9.1, which could allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper. This issue extends the previous flaw CVE-2017-7525 by blacklisting more classes that could be used maliciously.
An unspecified flaw was found in the Libraries component in OpenJDK. ObjectInputStream's readSerialData() could, in certain cases, incorrectly perform deserialization of data from serialized input. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
An old inffast.c optimization turns out to not be optimal anymore with modern compilers, and furthermore was not compliant with the C standard, for which decrementing a pointer before its allocated memory is undefined.

An upgrade to zlib 1.2.11 to fix a number of low severity CVEs that were present in zlib 1.2.8.
It was found that spacewalk-channel can be used by a non-admin user or disabled users to perform administrative tasks due to an incorrect authorization check in backend/server/rhnChannel.py.
A flaw was found in Foreman. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user with low-level Viewer permissions to cause unauthorized information disclosure by submitting requests to template preview endpoints. By exploiting this issue, the user can access sensitive data, such as host root passwords. Furthermore, under insecure system configurations where Safemode protections are disabled, the flaw may allow the user to execute arbitrary commands as the Foreman system account.
An arbitrary code execution flaw was found in Foreman. This issue may allow an admin user to execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system by setting global parameters with a YAML payload.
A command injection flaw was found in foreman. This flaw allows an authenticated user with admin privileges on the foreman instance to transpile commands through CoreOS and Fedora CoreOS configurations in templates, possibly resulting in arbitrary command execution on the underlying operating system.
It was discovered that the Scripting component of OpenJDK did not properly restrict access to scripting engine via Global object's engine variable when using Security Manager or class filtering. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Brian Bouterse of Red Hat reports:
The Qpid server on Satellite6 does not properly restrict message types that can be sent from managed content hosts. An attacker with administrative access to a managed content host could send arbitrary messages containing pickle() encoded data which would then be processed on the Satellite6 server.
A flaw was found in rubyipmi, a gem used in the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) component of Red Hat Satellite. An authenticated attacker with host creation or update permissions could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious username for the BMC interface. This could lead to remote code execution (RCE) on the system.
A flaw was found in Foreman. A remote attacker could exploit a command injection vulnerability in Foreman's WebSocket proxy implementation. This vulnerability arises from the system's use of unsanitized hostname values from compute resource providers when constructing shell commands. By operating a malicious compute resource server, an attacker could achieve remote code execution on the Foreman server when a user accesses VM VNC console functionality. This could lead to the compromise of sensitive credentials and the entire managed infrastructure.
A flaw was found in Foreman. The Usergroup model in Foreman does not properly validate role assignments against the calling user's permissions. This allows an authenticated user with usergroup management permissions to attach arbitrary roles, including administrative roles, to a user group and then add themselves as a member. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability leads to full privilege escalation, granting the attacker administrator-level access.
A flaw was found in Foreman. This vulnerability allows an authenticated remote attacker with low-level read permissions to achieve arbitrary code execution on the underlying server. By manipulating the permitted methods list within the template rendering engine, an attacker can bypass the safemode sandbox isolation and execute unauthorized commands directly on the host system.
An upgrade to zlib 1.2.11 to fix a number of low severity CVEs that were present in zlib 1.2.8.
An upgrade to zlib 1.2.11 to fix a number of low severity CVEs that were present in zlib 1.2.8.
A flaw was found in rhn-proxy. This vulnerability may allow the rhn-proxy to transmit user credentials in clear-text when it accesses RHN Satellite. This could lead to information disclosure, where sensitive authentication details are exposed to unauthorized parties.
It was discovered that the JNDI comment of OpenJDK did not properly enforce the restriction controlled by the com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase system property. In certain cases, a Java LDAP client could unexpectedly load and execute code form an LDAP server.
It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not perform access checks correctly in certain cases when performing field link resolution. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the LDAPCertStore class in the JNDI component of OpenJDK failed to securely handle LDAP referrals. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to make the LDAPCertStore fetch attacker-controlled certificate data.
A flaw was found in Foreman. OS command injection vulnerabilities exist in the foreman-rake db:dump and db:importdump tasks. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the destination parameter (during backups) and the file parameter (during imports) before passing them to a Ruby system() call for execution. An attacker with permissions to execute foreman-rake (e.g., via a restricted sudo configuration) can append malicious shell commands to the provided file paths.
A flaw was found in Foreman. A command injection vulnerability exists in the foreman-rake errors:fetchlog task. The requestid parameter is passed to an underlying system command (typically grep) without adequate shell neutralization. While the task is intended to fetch specific log entries, an attacker with sudo permissions to execute this rake task can inject shell metacharacters (such as ;, ", or |) to break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary code.
A out of bounds access flaw was found in the font layout engine in the 2D component of OpenJDK. Missing validation of the position value in GlyphIterator::setCurrGlyphID could lead to memory corruption, triggered by a specially crafted font file. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

A flaw was found in satellite. When giving granular permission related to the organization, other permissions allowing a user to view and manage other organizations are also granted. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
A lack of access control was found in the message queues maintained by Satellite's QPID broker and used by katello-agent in versions before Satellite 6.2, Satellite 6.1 optional and Satellite Capsule 6.1. A malicious user authenticated to a host registered to Satellite (or Capsule) can use this flaw to access QMF methods to any host also registered to Satellite (or Capsule) and execute privileged commands.
A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow occurs during the decompression of attacker-controlled compressed data within .solv files due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can provide a specially crafted .solv file, which, when processed by a vulnerable application, can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. This could result in information disclosure, alteration of program execution, or a denial of service.
A flaw was found in the foreman-mcp-server. A session management vulnerability in the MCP Server allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack active administrative sessions due to an improper cache of authenticated client connections, by trusting a non-secret session ID without re-validating authentication tokens and by logging all newly created session IDs to standard logs. This issue can result in privilege escalation and infrastructure-wide code execution.
