How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 ipa-server.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ipa-server package and not the ipa-server package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in FreeIPA's idp-add command, where insufficiently validated --organization/--base-url input reaches a constrained eval() call before the corresponding LDAP access control check is enforced. This allows any authenticated IPA principal, regardless of privilege level, to enumerate and read the environment variables of the affected server process and to cause denial of service via memory exhaustion.
