Description Andrej Nemec 2016-06-30 07:54:16 EDT 
Summary: a user with 'retrieve certificate' permission can revoke
any certificate.  The 'revoke certificate' permission is not
required.

Detail: the 'cert_revoke' command does check for the 'revoke
certificate' permission, however, if an access error is raised, it
then invokes the 'cert_show' command.  The rational was to re-use a
"self-service" check that is part of the 'cert_show' command,
however, it is sufficient that 'cert_show' execute successfully for
'cert_revoke' to recover from the access error and continue.
Therefore, anyone with 'retrieve certificate' permission can revoke
*any* certificate.

Impact: anyone with 'retrieve certificate' permission can cause
various kinds of DoS by revoking any cert they want.

Scope: Every supported versions of RHEL with IDM are affected.
