NewStart CGSL CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05 : sssd Vulnerability (NS-SA-2022-0044)

high Nessus Plugin ID 160872

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has sssd packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - A flaw was found in SSSD, where the sssctl command was vulnerable to shell command injection via the logs- fetch and cache-expire subcommands. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the root user into running a specially crafted sssctl command, such as via sudo, to gain root access. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3621)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL sssd packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
