SUSE update for sssd

1) Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU56000

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3621

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the sssctl command within the logs-fetch and cache-expire subcommands. An attacker can trick the root user into running a specially crafted sssctl command, such as via sudo, and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Mitigation

Update the affected package sssd to the latest version.
