RHEL 9 : sssd (RHSA-2024:2571)

high Nessus Plugin ID 194844

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for sssd.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2571 advisory.

The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) service provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It also provides the Name Service Switch (NSS) and the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) interfaces toward the system, and a pluggable back-end system to connect to multiple different account sources.

Security Fix(es):

* sssd: Race condition during authorization leads to GPO policies functioning inconsistently (CVE-2023-3758)

Bug Fix(es):

* socket leak (JIRA:RHEL-22340)

* Passkey cannot fall back to password (JIRA:RHEL-28161)

* sssd: Race condition during authorization leads to GPO policies functioning inconsistently (JIRA:RHEL-27209)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL sssd package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2571.
