Description

Dogtag PKI, through version 10.6.1, has a vulnerability in AAclAuthz.java that, under certain configurations, causes the application of ACL allow and deny rules to be reversed. If a server is configured to process allow rules before deny rules (authz.evaluateOrder=allow,deny), then allow rules will deny access and deny rules will grant access. This may result in an escalation of privileges or have other unintended consequences.

Statement

This issue affects the versions of pkicore as shipped with Red Hat Certificate System 9. Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having security impact of Low. Please also note that all instances of "authz.evaluateOrder" are set to "deny,allow" by default. A future update may address this issue. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/.
