Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Red Hat Enterprise IPA, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) Multiple memory leaks can be exploited to potentially exhaust all available memory via specially crafted requests.
2) An error in the processing of LDAP search patterns can be exploited to trigger a high CPU usage via specially crafted LDAP requests.
3) An error exists within the installation procedure, resulting in the master Kerberos password being retrievable via LDAP queries from an anonymous connection, which can be exploited to disclose the master Kerberos password.
Solution:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
