Sssd: sssd: denial of service via stale connection state reuse in pam gssapi responder

Published Oct 6, 2026 · Updated Nov 5, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in SSSD. A local user can cause a denial of service (DoS) by disrupting system authentication services. When handling Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface (GSSAPI) authentication in the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) responder, cached connection state is freed upon completion without clearing the reference pointer. An attacker can exploit this by sending an additional request over the same connection, causing the service to access invalid memory and unexpectedly terminate.
