DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for rhn-client-tools. This fixes a
security issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
disclose sensitive information and manipulate certain data.

The security issue is caused due to the rhn-client-tools setting
insecure permissions on "/var/spool/up2date/loginAuth.pkl". This can
be exploited to disclose credentials for connecting to the Red Hat
Network servers and manipulate package or action lists associated
with the system's profile.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
