It was found that Spacewalk, all versions through 2.9, did not safely compute client token checksums. An attacker with a valid, but expired, authenticated set of headers could move some digits around, artificially extending the session validity without modifying the checksum.
The product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data.
