Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2009-4139 is a CSRF flaw in Spacewalk Java site packages used with Red Hat Network Satellite/Spacewalk. If a logged-in user is tricked into a malicious interaction, an attacker could cause account changes, including adding users, disabling users, or granting administrator access. Likely exposure is limited to environments using affected Spacewalk Java or Red Hat Network Satellite components, with the bundle also listing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 rhnsd packages. Exact affected versions are not provided, so asset and package validation is required. Treat this as a moderate-priority legacy platform risk. It can affect account control and administrative integrity, but exploitation requires user interaction and confirmed exposure to older Spacewalk or Red Hat Satellite-related components. Mitigation focus: Identify Red Hat Network Satellite, Spacewalk Java, and listed RHEL rhnsd deployments in scope.; Apply Red Hat errata RHSA-2011-0879 where applicable, following vendor package guidance.; Check Red Hat’s CVE page and Bugzilla for affected version and remediation details..
