Oracle Linux: CVE-2020-15720: ELSA-2020-4847: pki-core:10.6 and pki-deps:10.6 security, bug fix, and enhancement update (MODERATE)

In Dogtag PKI through 10.8.3, the pki.client.PKIConnection class did not enable python-requests certificate validation. Since the verify parameter was hard-coded in all request functions, it was not possible to override the setting. As a result, tools making use of this class, such as the pki-server command, may have been vulnerable to Person-in-the-Middle attacks in certain non-localhost use cases. This is fixed in 10.9.0-b1.
A flaw was found in PKI, where the dogtag's pki.client.PKIConnection class disables the python-requests certificate validation. This flaw allows an attacker to intercept a connection between a FreeIPA client and a server, and execute an active Man-in-the-Middle attack. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
