    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.
