Highlights in 4.1.4#
Security fixes#
CVE-2015-1827 It was discovered that the IPA extdom Directory Server plug-in did not correctly perform memory reallocation when handling user account information. A request for a list of groups for a user that belongs to a large number of groups would cause a Directory Server to crash.
CVE-2015-0283 Additionally, FreeIPA 4.1.4 requires use of slapi-nis 0.54.2 which includes number of fixes for the CVE-2015-0283:
It was discovered that the slapi-nis Directory Server plug-in did not correctly perform memory reallocation when handling user account information. A request for information about a group with many members, or a request for a user that belongs to a large number of groups, would cause a Directory Server to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount of CPU time.
These issues were discovered by Sumit Bose of Red Hat.
Enhancements#
Various documentation improvements by Gabe Alford
Bug fixes#
Various fixes to DNSSEC support and overall DNS deployment scripts
Improvements in handling CA certificates from previous deployments when installing FreeIPA clients
Licensing of FreeIPA is clarified with regards to OpenSSL integration
More robust configuration of slapi-nis plugin to prevent potential dead-locks with other operations requiring lower-level database access.
