What to Know
A flaw was found in FreeIPA. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the `/ipa/i18n_messages` endpoint by sending an arbitrarily large request body. This can cause the service to consume excessive memory, leading to memory exhaustion, degraded responsiveness, and a denial of service (DoS) condition. (NVD)
What to Do
Monitor Red Hat's and freeipa's web pages for any future patch releases. See vendor advisory link below.
