VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30929/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From remote

REVISION:
1.1 originally posted 2008-07-03

SOFTWARE:
Red Hat Certificate System 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/7017/

DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for rhpki-common. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error in the handling of
Extensions in certificate signing requests (CSR) where all requested
Extensions are added to the issued certificate. This can be exploited
to bypass certain security policies, e.g. submit a CSR for a
subordinate CA certificate although prohibited in the CA
configuration.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
