Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2017.0421
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0421)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'sssd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0421 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'sssd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0421 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
SSSD stores its cached data in an LDAP like local database file using
libldb. To lookup cached data LDAP search filters like
'(objectClass=user) (name=user_name)' are used. However, in
sysdb_search_user_by_upn_res(), the input is not sanitized and allows to
manipulate the search filter for cache lookups. This would allow a
logged in user to discover the password hash of a different user
(CVE-2017-12173).

Affected Software/OS:
'sssd' package(s) on Mageia 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.0
