Two related off-by-one memory safety bugs in the FreeIPA ipa-otpd daemon,
in oauth2_on_child_readable() (daemons/ipa-otpd/oauth2.c). Confirmed by
reporter with AddressSanitizer on minimal reproducers. Verified against
upstream master (2026-07-03): vulnerable code still present.

Bug #1 — Out-of-bounds write (CWE-787), oauth2.c ~line 282
    static char buf[10240];
    io = read(verto_get_fd(ev), buf, 10240);
    if (io >= 0) {
        buf[io] = '\0';   // OOB when io == 10240
    }

Bug #2 — Out-of-bounds read (CWE-125), oauth2.c ~line 305
    rad_reply = memchr(buf, '\n', io);
    if (rad_reply != NULL) {
        *rad_reply = '\0';
        rad_reply++;
        end = memchr(rad_reply, '\n', io - (rad_reply - 1 - buf));  // off by 1
    }

Prerequisites:
1. FreeIPA configured with external IdP (ipa idp-add)
2. Attacker controls IdP endpoint or can MITM IdP traffic
3. A domain user initiates OAuth2 device authorization (kinit / IdP-backed account)

Requirements to exploit:
No FreeIPA admin credentials required on attacker side. Attacker operates at
the IdP layer. User interaction required to start the OAuth2 device flow.
Exploitation preconditions are non-trivial (IdP control/MITM + configured IdP).
