DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for katello. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the installation script using a
predictable token for cookie generation and can be exploited to
bypass the authentication mechanism of the web interface and log-in
as arbitrary user.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
