Ipa versions 4.2.x, 4.3.x before 4.3.3 and 4.4.x before 4.4.3 did not properly check the user's permissions while modifying certificate profiles in IdM's certprofile-mod command. An authenticated, unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to modify profiles to issue certificates with arbitrary naming or key usage information and subsequently use such certificates for other attacks.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4792-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FreeIPA incorrectly handled certificates. An attacker could possibly use this issue     to cause a denial of service by revoking arbitrary certificates This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
    (CVE-2016-5404)

    It was discovered that FreeIPA incorrectly handled authentication attempts. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-7030)

    It was discovered that FreeIPA incorrectly handled user's permissions. An authenticated attacker could     possibly use this issue to modify other user's profiles or other unspecified impact. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2016-9575)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update for ipa is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) is a centralized authentication, identity management, and authorization solution for both traditional and cloud-based enterprise environments.

Security Fix(es) :

* It was discovered that the default IdM password policies that lock out accounts after a certain number of failed login attempts were also applied to host and service accounts. A remote unauthenticated user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack against kerberized services. (CVE-2016-7030)

* It was found that IdM's certprofile-mod command did not properly check the user's permissions while modifying certificate profiles. An authenticated, unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to modify profiles to issue certificates with arbitrary naming or key usage information and subsequently use such certificates for other attacks.
