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 a vulnerability in the 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.
