Was just alerted to this by our security org.  Are there any plans to patch
this?
My seniors are looking into replacing spacewalk with something else if not.
As I'm not a programmer, I'm not sure how to apply the linked patch.  Does
that patch need to be compiled into a new jar?

########
A flaw was found in Spacewalk up to version 2.9 where it was vulnerable to
XML internal entity attacks via the /rpc/api endpoint. An unauthenticated
remote attacker could use this flaw to retrieve the content of certain
files and trigger a denial of service, or in certain circumstances, execute
arbitrary code on the Spacewalk server.

This is a 9.8 Critical and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
