CVE-2017-7509

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Red Hat Certificate System versions prior to 8.1.20-1

Description An input validation error exists in the handling of client-provided certificates. If the certreq field is not present in a certificate, an assertion error is triggered, causing a denial of service.

Recommendations For versions prior to 8.1.20-1, update to version 8.1.20-1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider validating client-provided certificates to ensure the presence of the certreq field before processing them.
