Abstract

Welcome to the RHN Satellite Release Notes.

Chapter 1. Major Features

The following are the major features released as part of RHN Satellite Server 5.2.0.
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is now supported as a base operating system for RHN Satellite Server installation. Refer to the Red Hat Network Satellite Installation Guide for more information.
  • RHN Satellite Server now supports Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition. For more information about Database requirements, refer to the Red Hat Network Satellite Installation Guide.
  • RHN Proxy Server includes a command-line installation program as a Technology Preview. The proxy-installer package contains an installation program that guides the user through a complete installation of RHN Proxy Server via text-based interactive prompts.
    Note that Technology Preview features are not supported, may not be functionally complete, and are not supported for production use. They are included here as a customer convenience and to provide the feature with wider exposure.

Chapter 2. Major Corrections

The following are the major bug fixes and workarounds released as part of RHN Satellite Server 5.2.0.
  • An issue has been addressed where an organization's administrator password was stored in plain text in a Satellite database entry.
  • An issue in the httpd.conf file has been fixed to prevent remote directory listings from being visible by issuing a GET request containing a double slash (//). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-1138 to this issue.
