 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4047-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Guilhem Moulin February 09, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : sssd Version : 2.4.1-2+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2021-3621 CVE-2023-3758 Debian Bug : 992710 1070369

 Vulnerabilities were found in sssd, a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms, which could lead to privilege escalation.

 CVE-2021-3621

 It was discovered that the sssctl(8) command was vulnerable to shell command injection via the logs-fetch and cache-expire subcommands.

 This flaw could allows an attacker to trick the root user into running a specially crafted sssctl(8) command, such as via sudo, in order to gain root privileges.

 CVE-2023-3758

 A race condition flaw was found in SSSD where the GPO policy is not consistently applied for authenticated users. This may lead to improper authorization issues, granting access to resources inappropriately.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.1-2+deb11u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your sssd packages.

 For the detailed security status of sssd please refer to its security tracker page at:
