Privilege Escalation

Red Hat Certificate System is an enterprise software system designed to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments. Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in the Red Hat Certificate System Agent and End Entity pages. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims using Certificate System’s web interface. (CVE-2012-2662) It was discovered that Red Hat Certificate System’s Certificate Manager did not properly check certificate revocation requests performed via its web interface. An agent permitted to perform revocations of end entity certificates could use this flaw to revoke the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. (CVE-2012-3367) This update also adds the following enhancement: * Red Hat Certificate System 8.1 did not previously allow using Red Hat Directory Server 9.0 as its internal database. This update adds support for Directory Server 9.0. (BZ#547527, BZ#819508) All users of Red Hat Certificate System 8.1 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add this enhancement. After installing this update, all Red Hat Certificate System subsystems must be restarted for the update to take effect.
