Scientific Linux 7: SLSA-2017-3379-1 Moderate: sssd Local Cache Exposure

It was found that sssd's sysdb_search_user_by_upn_res() function did not sanitize requests when querying its local cache and was vulnerable to injection. In a centralized login environment, if a password hash was locally cached for a given user, an authenticated attacker could use this flaw to retrieve it.

Synopsis: Moderate: sssd security and bug fix update Advisory ID: SLSA-2017:3379-1 Issue Date: 2017-12-05 CVE Numbers: CVE-2017-12173 -- Security Fix(es): * It was found that sssd's sysdb_search_user_by_upn_res() function did not sanitize requests when querying its local cache and was vulnerable to injection. In a centralized login environment, if a password hash was locally cached for a given user, an authenticated attacker could use this flaw to retrieve it. (CVE-2017-12173) Bug Fix(es): * Previously, SSSD's krb5 provider did not respect changed UIDs in ID views overriding the default view. Consequently, Kerberos credential caches were created with the incorrect, original UID, and processes of the user were not able to find the changed UID. With this update, SSSD's krb5 provider is made aware of the proper ID view name and respects the ID override data. As a result, the Kerberos credential cache is now created with the expected UID, and the processes can find it. * Previously, the list of cache request domains was sometimes freed in the middle of a cache request operation due to the refresh domains request, as they both were using the same list. As a consequence, a segmentation fault sometimes occurred in SSSD. With this update, SSSD uses a copy of the cache request domains' list for each cache request. As a result, SSSD no longer crashes in this case. * Previously, the calls provided by SSSD to send data to the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder did not use a mutex or any other means to serialize access to the PAC responder from a single process.When multithreaded applications overran the PAC responder with multiple parallel requests, some threads did not receive a proper reply. Consequently, such threads only resumed work after waiting 5 minutes for a response. This update configures mutex to serialize access to the PAC responder socket for multithreaded applications. As a result, all threads now get a proper and timely reply. -- SL7 x86_64 libipa_hbac-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libipa_hbac-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_autofs-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_certmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_certmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_idmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_idmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_nss_idmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_nss_idmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_simpleifp-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_simpleifp-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_sudo-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm python-libipa_hbac-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm python-sss-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm python-sss-murmur-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-ad-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-client-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm sssd-client-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-common-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-common-pac-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-dbus-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-debuginfo-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm sssd-debuginfo-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-ipa-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-kcm-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-krb5-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-krb5-common-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-ldap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-libwbclient-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-polkit-rules-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-proxy-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-tools-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-winbind-idmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libipa_hbac-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libipa_hbac-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_certmap-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_certmap-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_idmap-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_idmap-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_nss_idmap-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_nss_idmap-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm libsss_simpleifp-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm libsss_simpleifp-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm python-libsss_nss_idmap-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-libwbclient-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.i686.rpm sssd-libwbclient-devel-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.x86_64.rpm sssd-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.src.rpm noarch python-sssdconfig-1.15.2-50.el7_4.8.noarch.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team .
