Name : freeipa
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 4.8.3
Release : 1.fc31
URL : http://www.freeipa.org/
Summary : The Identity, Policy and Audit system
Description :
IPA is an integrated solution to provide centrally managed Identity (users,
hosts, services), Authentication (SSO, 2FA), and Authorization
(host access control, SELinux user roles, services). The solution provides
features for further integration with Linux based clients (SUDO, automount)
and integration with Active Directory based infrastructures (Trusts).

Update Information:

FreeIPA 4.8.3 is a security update release that includes fixes for two issues:
* CVE-2019-10195: Don't log passwords embedded in commands in calls using batch
A flaw was found in the way that FreeIPA's batch processing API logged
operations. This included passing user passwords in clear text on FreeIPA
masters. Batch processing of commands with passwords as arguments or options is
not performed by default in FreeIPA but is possible by third-party components.
An attacker having access to system logs on FreeIPA masters could use this flaw
to produce log file content with passwords exposed. The issue was reported by
Jamison Bennett from Cloudera * CVE-2019-14867: Make sure to have storage space
for tag A flaw was found in the way the internal function ber_scanf() was used
in some components of the IPA server, which parsed kerberos key data. An
unauthenticated attacker who could trigger parsing of the krb principal key
could cause the IPA server to crash or in some conditions, cause arbitrary code
to be executed on the server hosting the IPA server. The issue was reported by
Todd Lipcon from Cloudera
