Descriptions

A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to journalctl. As a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario, where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA administrator credentials.

Se encontró un fallo en la auditoría de la API de FreeIPA, donde envía toda la línea de comandos de FreeIPA a journalctl. Como consecuencia, durante el proceso de instalación de FreeIPA, filtra inadvertidamente las credenciales de usuario administrativo, incluida la contraseña de administrador, a la base de datos del diario. En el peor de los casos, donde el registro del diario está centralizado, los usuarios con acceso a él pueden tener acceso indebido a las credenciales de administrador de FreeIPA.

An update for ipa is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
