Updated ipa packages that fix two security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) is a centralized authentication, identity management, and authorization solution for both traditional and cloud-based enterprise environments.

Two cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in jQuery, which impacted the Identity Management web administrative interface, and could allow an authenticated user to inject arbitrary HTML or web script into the interface. (CVE-2010-5312, CVE-2012-6662)

Note: The IdM version provided by this update no longer uses jQuery.

Bug fixes :

* The ipa-server-install, ipa-replica-install, and ipa-client-install utilities are not supported on machines running in FIPS-140 mode.
Previously, IdM did not warn users about this. Now, IdM does not allow running the utilities in FIPS-140 mode, and displays an explanatory message. (BZ#1131571)

* If an Active Directory (AD) server was specified or discovered automatically when running the ipa-client-install utility, the utility produced a traceback instead of informing the user that an IdM server is expected in this situation. Now, ipa-client-install detects the AD server and fails with an explanatory message. (BZ#1132261)

* When IdM servers were configured to require the TLS protocol version 1.1 (TLSv1.1) or later in the httpd server, the ipa utility failed.
With this update, running ipa works as expected with TLSv1.1 or later.
(BZ#1154687)

* In certain high-load environments, the Kerberos authentication step of the IdM client installer can fail. Previously, the entire client installation failed in this situation. This update modifies ipa-client-install to prefer the TCP protocol over the UDP protocol and to retry the authentication attempt in case of failure.
(BZ#1161722)

* If ipa-client-install updated or created the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, the sudo utility could terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. Now, ipa-client-install puts a new line character at the end of nsswitch.conf if it modifies the last line of the file, fixing this bug. (BZ#1185207)

* The ipa-client-automount utility failed with the 'UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM' LDAP error when the nsslapd-minssf Red Hat Directory Server configuration parameter was set to '1'. This update modifies ipa-client-automount to use encrypted connection for LDAP searches by default, and the utility now finishes successfully even with nsslapd-minssf specified. (BZ#1191040)

* If installing an IdM server failed after the Certificate Authority (CA) installation, the 'ipa-server-install --uninstall' command did not perform a proper cleanup. After the user issued 'ipa-server-install --uninstall' and then attempted to install the server again, the installation failed. Now, 'ipa-server-install
--uninstall' removes the CA-related files in the described situation, and ipa-server-install no longer fails with the mentioned error message. (BZ#1198160)

* Running ipa-client-install added the 'sss' entry to the sudoers line in nsswitch.conf even if 'sss' was already configured and the entry was present in the file. Duplicate 'sss' then caused sudo to become unresponsive. Now, ipa-client-install no longer adds 'sss' if it is already present in nsswitch.conf. (BZ#1198339)

* After running ipa-client-install, it was not possible to log in using SSH under certain circumstances. Now, ipa-client-install no longer corrupts the sshd_config file, and the sshd service can start as expected, and logging in using SSH works in the described situation. (BZ#1201454)

* An incorrect definition of the dc attribute in the /usr/share/ipa/05rfc2247.ldif file caused bogus error messages to be returned during migration. The attribute has been fixed, but the bug persists if the copy-schema-to-ca.py script was run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 prior to running it on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7. To work around this problem, manually copy /usr/share/ipa/schema/05rfc2247.ldif to /etc/dirsrv/slapd-PKI-IPA/schema/ and restart IdM. (BZ#1220788)

All ipa users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) is a centralized authentication, identity management, and authorization solution for both traditional and cloud-based enterprise environments.

Two cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in jQuery, which impacted the Identity Management web administrative interface, and could allow an authenticated user to inject arbitrary HTML or web script into the interface. (CVE-2010-5312, CVE-2012-6662)

Note: The IdM version provided by this update no longer uses jQuery.

This update adds several enhancements that are described in more detail in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 Release Notes, linked to in the References section, including :

* Added the 'ipa-cacert-manage' command, which renews the Certification Authority (CA) file. (BZ#886645)

* Added the ID Views feature. (BZ#891984)

* IdM now supports using one-time password (OTP) authentication and allows gradual migration from proprietary OTP solutions to the IdM OTP solution. (BZ#919228)

* Added the 'ipa-backup' and 'ipa-restore' commands to allow manual backups. (BZ#951581)

* Added a solution for regulating access permissions to specific sections of the IdM server. (BZ#976382)

This update also fixes several bugs, including :

* Previously, when IdM servers were configured to require the Transport Layer Security protocol version 1.1 (TLSv1.1) or later in the httpd server, the 'ipa' command-line utility failed. With this update, running 'ipa' works as expected with TLSv1.1 or later.
(BZ#1156466)

In addition, this update adds multiple enhancements, including :

* The 'ipa-getkeytab' utility can now optionally fetch existing keytabs from the KDC. Previously, retrieving an existing keytab was not supported, as the only option was to generate a new key.
(BZ#1007367)

* You can now create and manage a '.' root zone on IdM servers. DNS queries sent to the IdM DNS server use this configured zone instead of the public zone. (BZ#1056202)

* The IdM server web UI has been updated and is now based on the Patternfly framework, offering better responsiveness. (BZ#1108212)

* A new user attribute now enables provisioning systems to add custom tags for user objects. The tags can be used for automember rules or for additional local interpretation. (BZ#1108229)

* This update adds a new DNS zone type to ensure that forward and master zones are better separated. As a result, the IdM DNS interface complies with the forward zone semantics in BIND. (BZ#1114013)

* This update adds a set of Apache modules that external applications can use to achieve tighter interaction with IdM beyond simple authentication. (BZ# 1107555)

* IdM supports configuring automember rules for automated assignment of users or hosts in respective groups according to their characteristics, such as the 'userClass' or 'departmentNumber' attributes. Previously, the rules could be applied only to new entries. This update allows applying the rules also to existing users or hosts. (BZ#1108226)

* The extdom plug-in translates Security Identifiers (SIDs) of Active Directory (AD) users and groups to names and POSIX IDs. With this update, extdom returns the full member list for groups and the full list of group memberships for a user, the GECOS field, the home directory, as well as the login shell of a user. Also, an optional list of key-value pairs contains the SID of the requested object if the SID is available. (BZ#1030699)

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2015-419:01 advisory.

    IPA is an integrated solution to provide centrally managed Identity (machine,     user, virtual machines, groups, authentication credentials), Policy     (configuration settings, access control information) and Audit (events,     logs, analysis thereof).
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2010-5312     Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jquery.ui.dialog.js in the     Dialog widget in jQuery UI before 1.10.0 allows remote attackers to     inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the title option.
    CVE-2012-6662     Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the default content option     in jquery.ui.tooltip.js in the Tooltip widget in jQuery UI before     1.10.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML     via the title attribute, which is not properly handled in the     autocomplete combo box demo.
    Fixed bugs:
    * The ipa-server-install, ipa-replica-install, and ipa-client-install utilities     are not supported on machines running in FIPS-140 mode. Previously, IdM did not     warn users about this. Now, the bug has been fixed with this update.
    * If an Active Directory (AD) server was specified or discovered automatically     when running the ipa-client-install utility, the utility produced a traceback     instead of informing the user that an IdM server is expected in this situation.
    With this update, the bug has been fixed.
    * When IdM servers were configured to require the TLS protocol version 1.1     (TLSv1.1) or later in the httpd server, the ipa utility failed. With this     update, running ipa works as expected with TLSv1.1 or later.
    * In certain high-load environments, the Kerberos authentication step of the IdM     client installer can fail. Previously, the entire client installation failed in     this situation. To fix this bug, this update modifies ipa-client-install to prefer the TCP     protocol over the UDP protocol and to retry the authentication attempt in case     of failure.
    * If ipa-client-install updated or created the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, the sudo     utility could terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. Now,     ipa-client-install puts a new line character at the end of nsswitch.conf if it     modifies the last line of the file, fixing this bug.
    * The ipa-client-automount utility failed with the UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM LDAP     error when the nsslapd-minssf Red Hat Directory Server configuration parameter     was set to 1. With this update, the problem has been fixed.
    * If installing an IdM server failed after the Certificate Authority (CA)     installation, the ipa-server-install --uninstall command did not perform a     proper cleanup. After the user issued ipa-server-install --uninstall and then     attempted to install the server again, the installation failed. With this update, the bug     has been fixed.
    * Running ipa-client-install added the sss entry to the sudoers line in     nsswitch.conf even if sss was already configured and the entry was present in     the file. Duplicate sss then caused sudo to become unresponsive. With this update,     the bug has been fixed.
    * After running ipa-client-install, it was not possible to log in using SSH     under certain circumstances. Now, ipa-client-install no longer corrupts the     sshd_config file, and the sshd service can start as expected.
    * An incorrect definition of the dc attribute in the     /usr/share/ipa/05rfc2247.ldif file caused bogus error messages to be returned     during migration. The attribute has been fixed, but the bug persists if the     copy-schema-to-ca.py script was run on Asianux Server 4 SP4 prior to     running it on Asianux Server 4 SP5. With this update, fixed it.
