Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations
to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide
public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It
performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard
operating environments.

Security Fix(es):

• cjson: out-of-bounds access in decode_array_index_from_pointer() in cJSON_Utils.c via crafted JSON pointer strings (CVE-2025-57052)
• python-django: Django SQL injection in FilteredRelation column aliases (CVE-2025-57833)
• puppet-agent: incomplete fix for CVE-2024-49761 (CVE-2025-10990)
• Fail to upgrade to Satellite 6.16 when Satellite has more than 520 users (SAT-38406)
• Ensure host key cleanup of /usr/share/foreman-proxy/.ssh/known_hosts on the Satellite (or Capsule) server when first remote execution is using Ansible (SAT-38408)
• Installer loads plugins from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/, breaking PostgreSQL config updates and thus upgrades from 6.15 to 6.16 (max_connections is not updated) (SAT-38410)
• Second container push set manifest size fields to -1, which breaks bootc (SAT-38411)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix these bugs.
