CVE-2008-3274: Infoleak
IPA contains a flaw in where installations of freipa/RHEIPA exposed the Master Kerberos Password through anonymous queries.
The Master Kerberos Password is used to encrypt keys, however this flaw does not lead to individual keys being exposed. By itself this flaw has limited scope, but could be combined with a different flaw which could reveal user credentials.
Other sources
The default configuration of Red Hat Enterprise IPA 1.0.0 and FreeIPA before 1.1.1 places ldap:///anyone on the read ACL for the krbMKey attribute, which allows remote attackers to obtain the Kerberos master key via an anonymous LDAP query.
