A security issue has been reported in FreeIPA, which can be exploited
by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive data.

gain knowledge of the CA certificate and subsequently spoof an IPA
server via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.

This security issue is reported in all 2.x versions.

SOLUTION:

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
