RHBA-2017:0843 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated yum-rhn-plugin packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Advanced Update Support.

Description

The yum-rhn-plugin package provides support for connecting to Red Hat Network (RHN)and Red Hat Satellite server. Systems registered with RHN are able to update and install packages from Red Hat Network.

• Previously, the yum-rhn-plugin was sending a deformed request header. As a consequence, this prevented from downloading repository metadata from a Red Hat Satellite server. This occurred when the Satellite server ran with the 2.2.15-60 or newer version of the httpd package and with strict-whitespace-enforcement mode enabled. The bug has been fixed, and yum-rhn-plugin now sends correct HTTP requests. (BZ#1425081)

Users of yum-rhn-plugin are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
