There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 pki-base-java.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pki-base-java package and not the pki-base-java package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Dogtag PKI through 10.8.3, the pki.client.PKIConnection class did not enable python-requests certificate validation. Since the verify parameter was hard-coded in all request functions, it was not possible to override the setting. As a result, tools making use of this class, such as the pki-server command, may have been vulnerable to Person-in-the-Middle attacks in certain non-localhost use cases. This is fixed in 10.9.0-b1.
