Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: pki-core security, bug fix and enhancement update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:0511-02

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0511.html

Issue date: 2013-02-21

CVE Names: CVE-2012-4543

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated pki-core packages that fix multiple security issues, two bugs, and

add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in

the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - noarch

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - noarch

 

3. Description:

 

Red Hat Certificate System is an enterprise software system designed to

manage enterprise public key infrastructure (PKI) deployments. PKI Core

contains fundamental packages required by Red Hat Certificate System, which

comprise the Certificate Authority (CA) subsystem.

 

Note: The Certificate Authority component provided by this advisory cannot

be used as a standalone server. It is installed and operates as a part of

Identity Management (the IPA component) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

 

Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in Certificate System.

An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS)

attack against victims using Certificate System's web interface.

(CVE-2012-4543)

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* Previously, due to incorrect conversion of large integers while

generating a new serial number, some of the most significant bits in the

serial number were truncated. Consequently, the serial number generated for

certificates was sometimes smaller than expected and this incorrect

conversion in turn led to a collision if a certificate with the smaller

number already existed in the database. This update removes the incorrect

integer conversion so that no serial numbers are truncated. As a result,

the installation wizard proceeds as expected. (BZ#841663)

 

* The certificate authority used a different profile for issuing the audit

certificate than it used for renewing it. The issuing profile was for two

years, and the renewal was for six months. They should both be for two

years. This update sets the default and constraint parameters in the

caSignedLogCert.cfg audit certificate renewal profile to two years.

(BZ#844459)

 

This update also adds the following enhancements:

 

* IPA (Identity, Policy and Audit) now provides an improved way to

determine that PKI is up and ready to service requests. Checking the

service status was not sufficient. This update creates a mechanism for

clients to determine that the PKI subsystem is up using the getStatus()

function to query the cs.startup_state in CS.cfg. (BZ#858864)

 

* This update increases the default root CA validity period from eight

years to twenty years. (BZ#891985)

 

All users of pki-core are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which fix these issues and add these enhancements.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

858864 - create/ identify a mechanism for clients to determine that the pki subsystem is up

864397 - CVE-2012-4543 Certificate System: Multiple cross-site scripting flaws by displaying CRL or processing profile

867640 - ipa-replica-install Configuration of CA failed

891985 - Increase FreeIPA root CA validity
