Synopsis:	Moderate: yum-rhn-plugin security update
Issue date:	2008-08-14
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-3270

It was discovered that yum-rhn-plugin did not verify the SSL certificate
for all communication with a Red Hat Network server. An attacker able to
redirect the network communication between a victim and an RHN server could
use this flaw to provide malicious repository metadata. This metadata could
be used to block the victim from receiving specific security updates.
