Description Murray McAllister 2014-05-27 03:06:40 UTC 
Upstream reports:

""
In Apache 2.4, SSLCARevocationCheck directive was added to mod_ssl,
which defaults it to none and must be explicitly configured. This
setting enables checking of a certificate revocation list. The default
Puppet master vhost config shipped with Puppet does not include this
setting. If a Puppet master is set up to run with Apache 2.4, and this
default vhost configuration file is used, the Puppet master will
continue to honor a host's certificate even after it is revoked.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank Puppet Labs for reporting this issue.

A revision was not needed here. It is OK for it to be identical to the obsoleted patch.
Comment 9 Murray McAllister 2014-06-11 01:15:55 UTC

Comment 10 Murray McAllister 2014-06-11 01:16:49 UTC 
Created puppet tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1107897]
Comment 11 Kurt Seifried 2014-06-12 07:07:59 UTC 
Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of puppet as shipped with Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager 1.3 as they did not include puppet-server.
