Synopsis

Description

According to the version of the authconfig packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - A flaw was found where authconfig could configure sssd in a way that treats existing and non-existing logins differently, leaking information on existence of a user. An attacker with physical or network access to the machine could enumerate users via a timing attack.
