Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-08-19 17:22:33 UTC 
Although CVE-2025-4404 fixed the lack of verification for the uniqueness of the LDAP attribute krbCanonicalName in FreeIPA, it doesn't prevent to achieve the same privilege escalation by using the the root kbrcanonicalname.

Thanks for the update. Looks like this issue (CVE-2025-7493) has now been patched across multiple RHEL versions — 8, 9, 9.4 EUS, and 10 — through the respective errata (RHSA-2025:17084, 17085, 17088, and 17129). Good to see consistent coverage across supported releases.

Just to confirm: does this fix fully address the LDAP krbCanonicalName privilege escalation vector mentioned in CVE-2025-4404, or are there additional mitigations required on FreeIPA deployments?
Comment 10 Alexander Bokovoy 2025-10-07 08:06:04 UTC 
Please read the upstream release notes for 4.12.5, they have all the details. 
https://www.freeipa.org/release-notes/4-12-5.html

The security releases in RHEL and Fedora follow those details in addressing both CVE-2025-4404 and CVE-2025-7493.
