Debian DLA-3436-1 : sssd - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 176457

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3436 advisory.

- A flaw was found in sssd Group Policy Objects implementation. When the GPO is not readable by SSSD due to a too strict permission settings on the server side, SSSD will allow all authenticated users to login instead of denying access. (CVE-2018-16838)

- 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. All versions before 2.1 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3811)

- 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)

- sssd: libsss_certmap fails to sanitise certificate data used in LDAP filters (CVE-2022-4254)

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

Solution

Upgrade the sssd packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.16.3-3.2+deb10u1.
