NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ipa-python package and not the ipa-python package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 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.
