NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freeipa package and not the freeipa package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
