Moderate: ipa security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Feb 15, 2024 · Updated Feb 19, 2024

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2023-5455: A Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ipa/session/login_password in all supported versions of IPA. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into submitting a request that could perform actions as the user, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and system integrity. During community penetration testing it was found that for certain HTTP end-points FreeIPA does not ensure CSRF protection. Due to implementation details one cannot use this flaw for reflection of a cookie representing already logged-in user. An attacker would always have to go through a new authentication attempt.
