Description Adam Mariš 2016-08-26 13:22:25 UTC
A flaw was found that allows any unauthenticated party to easily run DoS attack against kerberized services in FreeIPA/IdM realm.

FreeIPA contains MIT KDC as its main component + FreeIPA is using custom database driver for the KDC. As a side-effect of implementation, FreeIPA is enforcing password policies for all principals, including services which do not use "password" but keytab with randomly-generated/strong key.

Default password policy locks an account after 5 unsuccessful authentication attempts for 10 minutes. An attacker can use this to simply lock-out any principal, including system services.
