Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: General availability of the satellite/iop-gateway-rhel9 container image
Severity
Critical
Notes
Topic: A new satellite/iop-gateway-rhel9 container image is now generally available in the Red Hat container registry.
Details: Red Hat Lightspeed in Satellite analyzes system health and configuration by applying predefined rules to a small set of local data, such as installed packages, running services, and configuration settings. When you install Red Hat Lightspeed in Satellite locally, you can generate Red Hat Lightspeed recommendations without sending system data to Red Hat services.

A flaw was found in NGINX, specifically within the ngx_http_rewrite_module. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests under specific rewrite configurations. This can lead to a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process, which may result in arbitrary code execution if Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), a security technique to prevent exploitation, is disabled. Otherwise, this flaw causes a denial of service due to a restart of the NGINX worker process.
