Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2014-11-24 18:03:17 UTC 
Discussed at 2014-11-24 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-11-24/f21-blocker-review.2014-11-24-17.01.log.txt . The security criterion only covers issues with an impact of 'important' or higher, and this is only 'moderate':

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Final_Release_Criteria#Security_bugs

"The release must contain no known security bugs of 'important' or higher impact according to the Red Hat severity classification scale which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by a package update (e.g. issues during installation)."

so it's rejected as a blocker, but it's accepted as a freeze exception issue - obviously a good idea to include the fix at this point.
Comment 10 Fedora Update System 2014-11-25 03:06:49 UTC 
freeipa-4.1.1-2.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
