Debian LTS: DLA-2758-1: sssd security update
Summary
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.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.15.0-3+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your sssd packages.
For the detailed security status of sssd please refer to
