A flaw was found in PKI, where the dogtag's pki.client.PKIConnection class disables the python-requests certificate validation. This flaw allows an attacker to intercept a connection between a FreeIPA client and a server, and execute an active Man-in-the-Middle attack. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

Acknowledgments: Name: Christian Heimes Created pki-core tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1855854] Statement: In PKI, the pki.client.PKIConnection python class is used by the `pki-server` and `pkispawn` commands. `pki-server` runs locally on the server, thus not subject to a Person in the Middle attack. `pkispawn` may access remote node in decentralized or cloned contexts. Identity Management (IPA) command line interface (the vault related sub-commands) may call pki.client.PKIConnection(). This bug is now closed. Further updates for individual products will be reflected on the CVE page(s): https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2020-15720 This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Via RHSA-2020:4847 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:4847 |
