TITLE:
Entrust ESP Certificate Path Validation Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26630

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26630/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Spoofing

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Entrust Entelligence Security Provider 8.x
http://secunia.com/product/13733/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Entrust Entelligence Security
Provider (ESP), which can lead to untrusted certificates misleadingly
being displayed as trustworthy.

The security issue is caused due to an error in the handling of flags
and error states in Security Provider when the Path Building and
Validation modules are installed. This can lead to untrusted
certificates wrongly being displayed as trusted and e.g. users
connecting to an untrusted SSL server or using an untrusted public
key.

The error can occur when a certificate path is incomplete and does
not chain the root certificate, an application requests a path
validation and indicates that an unknown revocation status should not
cause the path validation to fail, or the application indicates that
certain errors in the certificate path should be ignored.

The security issue is reported in Entrust Entelligence Security
Provider 8 running on the following platforms:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4
• Microsoft Windows XP SP1, SP1a, or SP2 (Professional/Home/Tablet
32-bit editions)
• Microsoft Windows Vista - All 32-bit editions
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1/R2 - All 32-bit editions

SOLUTION:
Apply patch 132192 (available in the customer portal).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
