Title: Red Hat Certificate System Security Bypass Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) is an enterprise-level Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployment manager.

Red Hat Certificate System is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. Specifically, the issue occurs because the Token Processing System (TPS) component fails to properly verify the challenge response received when enrolling a new security token.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to complete the token-enrollment procedure with a software-generated key instead of the key stored in the hardware token.

Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • RedHat Certificate Server 7.3
