CVE-2024-11029

MEDIUM

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 - Exposure of Sensitive System Information via FreeIPA API Audit

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to journalctl. As a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario, where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA administrator credentials.
