Descriptions

Format string vulnerability in the token processing system (pki-tps) in Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) 8.1 and possibly Dogtag Certificate System 9 and 10 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in unspecified vectors, related to viewing certificates.

Vulnerabilidad de formato de cadena de texto en el sistema de procesamiento de tokens (pki-tps) en Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) 8.1 y posiblemente Dogtag Certificate Systsem 9 y 10 permite a usuarios autenticados remotamente causar denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de especificadores de formato de cadena de texto en vectores no especificados, relacionados con la visualización de certificados.

Red Hat Certificate System is an enterprise software system designed to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure deployments. The Token Processing System is a PKI subsystem that acts as a Registration Authority for authenticating and processing enrollment requests, PIN reset requests, and formatting requests from the Enterprise Security Client. A format string flaw was found in the TPS subsystem. An authenticated Certificate System user could use this flaw to crash the Apache HTTP Server child process, possibly interrupting the processing of other users' requests, or possibly execute arbitrary code with pkiuser privileges.
