Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) is an enterprise software system designed
to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.

Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were discovered in the Red Hat
Certificate System. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against victims using Certificate
System's web interface. (CVE-2012-4543)

Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the Red Hat Certificate
System token processing. A Certificate System user could use these flaws
to crash the Apache httpd web server child process, possibly interrupting
the processing of other users' requests. (CVE-2012-4555, CVE-2012-4556)
