The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - bootstrap: XSS in the tooltip or popover data-template attribute (CVE-2019-8331)

  - pki: Dogtag's python client does not validate certificates (CVE-2020-15720)

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) before 8.1.1 and     Dogtag Certificate System allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified     parameters to the (1) System Agent or (2) End Entity pages. (CVE-2012-2662)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1347 advisory.

    [9.0.3-43]
    - Resolves #1225589 - unable to create rhel 7.1 replica from rhel 6 replica CA because subsystem user does     not exist

    [9.0.3-42]
    - Resolves #1221900 - pki-core: cross-site scripting flaw in the dogtag administration page (port 9180,     port 9444) [rhel-6.7]

    [9.0.3-41]
    - Resolves #1212557 - ipa-server-install fails when configuring CA

    [9.0.3-40]
    - Resolves #1171848 - IPA - port 9443 (pki-core) is vulnerable to SSLv3 POODLE       (based upon upstream changes provided by cfu and alee)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in the Red Hat Certificate System Agent and End Entity pages. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims using the Certificate System's web interface. (CVE-2012-2662)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, pki-core required the SSL version 3 (SSLv3)     protocol ranges to communicate with the 389-ds-base     packages. However, recent changes to 389-ds-base     disabled the default use of SSLv3 and enforced using     protocol ranges supported by secure protocols, such as     the TLS protocol. As a consequence, the CA failed to     install during an Identity Management (IdM) server     installation. This update adds TLS-related parameters to     the server.xml file of the CA to fix this problem, and     running the ipa-server- install command now installs the     CA as expected.

  - Previously, the ipa-server-install script failed when     attempting to configure a stand-alone CA on systems with     OpenJDK version 1.8.0 installed. The pki-core build and     runtime dependencies have been modified to use OpenJDK     version 1.7.0 during the stand-alone CA configuration.
    As a result, ipa-server-install no longer fails in this     situation.

  - Creating a Scientific Linux 7 replica from a Scientific     Linux 6 replica running the CA service sometimes failed     in IdM deployments where the initial Scientific Linux 6     CA master had been removed. This could cause problems in     some situations, such as when migrating from Scientific     Linux 6 to Scientific Linux 7. The bug occurred due to a     problem in a previous version of IdM where the subsystem     user, created during the initial CA server installation,     was removed together with the initial master. This     update adds the restore-subsystem-user.py script that     restores the subsystem user in the described situation,     thus enabling administrators to create a Scientific     Linux 7 replica in this scenario.

  - Several Java import statements specify wildcard     arguments. However, due to the use of wildcard arguments     in the import statements of the source code contained in     the Scientific Linux 6 maintenance branch, a name space     collision created the potential for an incorrect class     to be utilized. As a consequence, the Token Processing     System (TPS) rebuild test failed with an error message.
    This update addresses the bug by supplying the fully     named class in all of the affected areas, and the TPS     rebuild test no longer fails.

  - Previously, pki-core failed to build with the rebased     version of the CMake build system during the TPS rebuild     test. The pki-core build files have been updated to     comply with the rebased version of CMake. As a result,     pki-core builds successfully in the described scenario.

Updated pki-core packages that fix one security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security 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.

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.

Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in the Red Hat Certificate System Agent and End Entity pages. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims using the Certificate System's web interface. (CVE-2012-2662)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

Users of pki-core are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Updated pki-common, pki-tps and pki-util packages that fix multiple security issues and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Certificate System 8.1.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Red Hat Certificate System is an enterprise software system designed to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.

Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in the Red Hat Certificate System Agent and End Entity pages. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims using Certificate System's web interface. (CVE-2012-2662)

It was discovered that Red Hat Certificate System's Certificate Manager did not properly check certificate revocation requests performed via its web interface. An agent permitted to perform revocations of end entity certificates could use this flaw to revoke the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. (CVE-2012-3367)

This update also adds the following enhancement :

* Red Hat Certificate System 8.1 did not previously allow using Red Hat Directory Server 9.0 as its internal database. This update adds support for Directory Server 9.0. (BZ#547527, BZ#819508)

All users of Red Hat Certificate System 8.1 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add this enhancement. After installing this update, all Red Hat Certificate System subsystems must be restarted for the update to take effect.
