Moderate: ipa security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Oct 26, 2026 · Updated Oct 26, 2026

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-73199: A flaw was found in the `ipa-enrollment` SLAPI plugin. A remote authenticated client can exploit a null pointer dereference vulnerability by sending a malformed Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) extended operation. By omitting the request value for the `JOIN_OID` in the `ipa-enrollment` extended operation, an attacker can trigger a server crash, potentially causing a denial of service. CVE-2026-73196: A flaw was found in FreeIPA. A low-privilege authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability by submitting an oversized One-Time Password (OTP) key value. This oversized key is then decoded and re-encoded without proper size limits, consuming excessive CPU and memory resources. This can lead to a denial of service, degrading the availability of the IPA service.
