Explanation

The modification of Certificate Revocation List (CRL) could elicit a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against a credential management system by altering the list of revoked certificates and preventing valid users from accessing the system or allowing invalid users to access the system. A CRL is a list of digital certificates that have been revoked by the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) before their expiration date and should not be trusted.
