Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: rhpki-ra security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1065-01
Product: Red Hat Certificate System
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1065.html
Issue date: 2009-05-26
CVE Names: CVE-2009-0588
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An updated rhpki-ra package that fixes one security issue is now available
for Red Hat Certificate System 7.3.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 for 4AS - noarch
Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 for 4ES - noarch
3. Description:
The Red Hat registration authority is an optional Red Hat Certificate
System subsystem that acts as a front-end for authenticating and processing
enrollment requests, PIN reset requests, and formatting requests.
Robert Mead of AusCERT reported that the registration authority did not
properly check an agent's authorization in some CGI scripts. In deployments
where certificate requests were processed by multiple agent groups, an
agent from any group was able to approve or reject certificate requests in
the queue for any other agent group, if they were able to guess the request
ID. (CVE-2009-0588)
All Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 users should upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this issue.
4. Solution:
Users running Red Hat Certificate System on Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
Users running Red Hat Certificate System on Sun Solaris:
An updated Solaris package, in .pkg format, is available in the Red Hat
Certificate System Solaris channel on the Red Hat Network. Use native

op.cgi file to the corresponding instance locations, for example:
