The default configuration for IPA servers in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, when revoking a certificate from an Identity Management replica, does not properly update another Identity Management replica, which causes inconsistent Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) to be used and might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a revoked certificate.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-4546 is a certificate revocation consistency flaw in default Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 IPA server deployments. If one Identity Management replica revokes a certificate but another replica does not receive the correct CRL update, a revoked certificate may still be accepted and bypass intended access restrictions. Exposure appears limited to RHEL 6 IPA servers using Identity Management replicas and certificate revocation. The source bundle does not identify other affected products, versions, or CPEs. Treat as a legacy identity-system control weakness. Urgency is highest where RHEL 6 IPA replicas still gate privileged access or certificate-based authentication. Mitigation focus: Review Red Hat advisory RHSA-2013:0528 for applicable updates and guidance.; Prioritize affected RHEL 6 IPA or Identity Management replica environments.; Confirm certificate revocation behavior is consistent across all replicas..
