CVE-2026-73197

A flaw was found in FreeIPA.

Published Aug 20, 2026 · updated Oct 15, 2026 · Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending oversized form POST requests to the endpoint. This can force the migration handler to read attacker-controlled request bodies fully into memory, leading to increased memory usage, slower request handling, and potential service disruption or denial of service.
