Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for freeipa.

CVE-2025-4404[0]:
| A privilege escalation from host to domain vulnerability was found
| in the FreeIPA project. The FreeIPA package fails to validate the
| uniqueness of the `krbCanonicalName` for the admin account by
| default, allowing users to create services with the same canonical
| name as the REALM admin. When a successful attack happens, the user
| can retrieve a Kerberos ticket in the name of this service,
| containing the admin at REALM credential. This flaw allows an attacker
| to perform administrative tasks over the REALM, leading to access to
| sensitive data and sensitive data exfiltration.
