Debian DLA-1635-1 : sssd security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 121233

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A vulnerability was found in sssd. If a user was configured with no home directory set, sssd would return '/' (the root directory) instead of '' (the empty string / no home directory). This could impact services that restrict the user's filesystem access to within their home directory through chroot() etc.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.7-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your sssd packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
