Description Tomas Hoger 2012-06-28 14:17:40 UTC
It was discovered that the Red Hat Certificate System's / Dogtag Certificate System's Certificate Manager did not properly check certificate revocation requests.  An agent permitted to perform revocations of end entity certificates via Certificate System's web interface could use this flaw to revoke the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate.

The issue was originally reported via bug #832212.
