In deployments\nwhere certificate requests were processed by multiple agent groups, an\nagent from any group was able to approve or reject certificate requests in\nthe queue for any other agent group, if they were able to guess the request\nID. (CVE-2009-0588)\n\nAll Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 users should upgrade to this updated\npackage, which resolves this issue.",
