Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for rhpki-common. This fixes a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error in the handling of Extensions in certificate signing requests (CSR) where all requested Extensions are added to the issued certificate. This can be exploited to bypass certain security policies, e.g. submit a CSR for a subordinate CA certificate although prohibited in the CA configuration.
