CWE-284  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable freeipa to version 4.3.2-5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeipa package and not the freeipa package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The cert_revoke command in FreeIPA does not check for the "revoke certificate" permission, which allows remote authenticated users to revoke arbitrary certificates by leveraging the "retrieve certificate" permission.
