CVE-2016-7030
First published: Fri Aug 26 2016(Updated: )
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.
