Vendor Workaround
If SSSD automount map integration is not required, disable the autofs responder. Stop and mask the socket-activated service: # systemctl stop sssd-autofs.socket sssd-autofs.service # systemctl mask sssd-autofs.socket If 'autofs' is explicitly listed in the services directive under the [sssd] section of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf, remove it and restart the SSSD service: # systemctl restart sssd If autofs support is required, restrict access to the autofs responder UNIX socket (typically /var/lib/sss/pipes/autofs) to trusted local users. Note that disabling the autofs responder prevents SSSD from resolving automount maps, and restarting SSSD may temporarily disrupt identity lookups and active automount operations.

| Description | A flaw was found in SSSD. A local attacker can exploit this issue by sending a specially crafted request with an invalid packet length to the autofs responder UNIX socket. This causes an integer underflow and an out-of-bounds memory read, which can crash the responder process and result in a denial of service (DoS). | |
