Published Nov 2, 2010
·
Updated

Red Hat / Dogtag Certificate System did not prevent re-use of the one-time PIN used in the SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) protocol enrollment requests. The check was done to ensure that PIN is valid, but the PIN was never removed from the list of valid PINs once it was used. An attacker possessing a valid SCEP enrollment one-time PIN could use it to generate an unlimited number of certificates.
