RHSA-2019:2137
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2019-08-06 12:21 - Updated: 2025-11-21 18:09Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: keycloak-httpd-client-install security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Severity
Low
Notes
Topic: An update for keycloak-httpd-client-install is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details: The keycloak-httpd-client-install packages provide various libraries and tools that can automate and simplify the configuration of Apache httpd authentication modules when registering as a Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH-SSO, also called Keycloak) federated Identity Provider (IdP) client.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: keycloak-httpd-client-install (0.8). (BZ#1673716)
Security Fix(es):
* keycloak-httpd-client-install: unsafe /tmp log file in --log-file option in keycloak_cli.py (CVE-2017-15111)
* keycloak-httpd-client-install: unsafe use of -p/--admin-password on command line (CVE-2017-15112)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 Release Notes linked from the References section.

It was discovered that keycloak-httpd-client-install uses a predictable log file name in /tmp. A local attacker could create a symbolic link to a sensitive location, possibly causing data corruption or denial of service.
CWE-377 - Insecure Temporary File
Vendor Fix
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically.
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:2137
In keycloak-http-client-install prior to version 0.8, the admin password could be provided through a command-line argument. This might result in the password being leaked through shell history, or becoming visible to a local attacker at the time the program is running.
CWE-200 - Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Vendor Fix
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon will be restarted automatically.
