DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in SSSD, which can be exploited by
malicious people to hijack another user's account.

The security issue is caused due to the automatic ticket renewal
service setting the credential cache path as the user's cached
credentials, which can be exploited to log in as another user by
determining or predicting the name of the other user's cache file.

Successful exploitation requires that the automatic ticket renewal
option and offline authentication are enabled, the SSSD daemon is
authenticating in offline mode, and a renewal operation for the
victim user has been performed without any further authentication
from the victim user taking place.

Note: Remote attackers may only be able to predict the filename if
the "mkstemp()" suffix has been removed from the
"krb5_ccache_template" SSSD configuration option.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.5.0 to 1.5.7.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.5.7.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Marko Myllynen, Red Hat.
