AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: sssd
Publisher: Debian
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 8
Impact/Access: Unauthorised Access -- Existing Account
Resolution: Patch/Upgrade
CVE Names: CVE-2019-3811
Original Bulletin:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-3811
Comment: This advisory references vulnerabilities in products which run on
platforms other than Debian. It is recommended that administrators
running sssd check for an updated version of the software for their
operating system.
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
Package : sssd
Version : 1.11.7-3+deb8u2
CVE ID : CVE-2019-3811
Debian Bug : 919051
A vulnerability was found in sssd. If a user was configured with no home
directory set, sssd would return '/' (the root directory) instead of ''
(the empty string / no home directory). This could impact services that
restrict the user's filesystem access to within their home directory
through chroot() etc.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.11.7-3+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your sssd packages.
