CVE-2015-5292

Fuga de memoria en el plugin en Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder (sssd_pac_plugin.so) en System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) 1.10 en versiones anteriores a 1.13.1 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de un gran número de logins que desencadenan análisis gramaticales de blobs de PAC durante la autenticación Kerberos.

It was found that SSSD's Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder plug-in would leak a small amount of memory on each authentication request. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on the system by making repeated requests to a Kerberized daemon application configured to authenticate using the PAC responder plug-in.

The System Security Services Daemon service provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It also provides the Name Service Switch and the Pluggable Authentication Modules interfaces toward the system, and a pluggable back-end system to connect to multiple different account sources.
