CVE-2008-1676 (GCVE-0-2008-1676)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2008-07-07 23:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 08:32

Summary

Red Hat PKI Common Framework (rhpki-common) in Red Hat Certificate System (aka Certificate Server or RHCS) 7.1 through 7.3, and Netscape Certificate Management System 6.x, does not recognize Certificate Authority profile constraints on Extensions, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions and conduct man-in-the-middle attacks by submitting a certificate signing request (CSR) and using the resulting certificate.

Severity ?

No CVSS data available.

Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: rhpki-common security update

Notes

Topic

Updated rhpki-common packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Certificate System 7.2. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Details

Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) is an enterprise software system designed to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments. rhpki-common -- the Red Hat PKI Common Framework -- is required by the following four RHCS subsystems: the Red Hat Certificate Authority; the Red Hat Data Recovery Manager; the Red Hat Online Certificate Status Protocol Manager; and the Red Hat Token Key Service. A flaw was found in the way Red Hat Certificate System handled Extensions in the certificate signing requests (CSR). All requested Extensions were added to the issued certificate even if constraints were defined in the Certificate Authority (CA) profile. An attacker could submit a CSR for a subordinate CA certificate even if the CA configuration prohibited subordinate CA certificates. This lead to a bypass of the intended security policy, possibly simplifying man-in-the-middle attacks against users that trust Certificate Authorities managed by Red Hat Certificate System. (CVE-2008-1676) All users of Red Hat Certificate System 7.2 should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolves this issue.

Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2008-07-02 17:49 - Updated: 2025-11-21 17:33

Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: rhpki-common security update

Notes

Topic

An updated rhpki-common package that fixes a security issue is now available for Red Hat Certificate System 7.3. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Details

Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) is an enterprise software system designed to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments. rhpki-common -- the Red Hat PKI Common Framework -- is required by the following four RHCS subsystems: the Red Hat Certificate Authority; the Red Hat Data Recovery Manager; the Red Hat Online Certificate Status Protocol Manager; and the Red Hat Token Key Service. A flaw was found in the way Red Hat Certificate System handled Extensions in the certificate signing requests (CSR). All requested Extensions were added to the issued certificate even if constraints were defined in the Certificate Authority (CA) profile. An attacker could submit a CSR for a subordinate CA certificate even if the CA configuration prohibited subordinate CA certificates. This lead to a bypass of the intended security policy, possibly simplifying man-in-the-middle attacks against users that trust Certificate Authorities managed by Red Hat Certificate System. (CVE-2008-1676) All users of Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

RHSA-2008_0500

Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2008-07-02 17:49 - Updated: 2024-11-22 02:01

Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: rhpki-common security update

Notes

Topic

Details

Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) is an enterprise software system designed to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments. rhpki-common -- the Red Hat PKI Common Framework -- is required by the following four RHCS subsystems: the Red Hat Certificate Authority; the Red Hat Data Recovery Manager; the Red Hat Online Certificate Status Protocol Manager; and the Red Hat Token Key Service. A flaw was found in the way Red Hat Certificate System handled Extensions in the certificate signing requests (CSR). All requested Extensions were added to the issued certificate even if constraints were defined in the Certificate Authority (CA) profile. An attacker could submit a CSR for a subordinate CA certificate even if the CA configuration prohibited subordinate CA certificates. This lead to a bypass of the intended security policy, possibly simplifying man-in-the-middle attacks against users that trust Certificate Authorities managed by Red Hat Certificate System. (CVE-2008-1676) All users of Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
