CVE-2026-104043

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A flaw was found in SSSD where a local attacker with access to the NSS responder UNIX socket can trigger an integer underflow by sending a specially crafted request with an undersized packet header. This causes an out-of-bounds memory read during packet parsing, crashing the responder process.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can crash the NSS responder, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) and disrupting name and identity resolution on the host.

Recommendation

Update SSSD to a version with the packet length validation fix in the NSS responder. Restrict access to the NSS responder UNIX socket to trusted processes only.
