CVE-2009-2410 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sssd package and not the sssd package as distributed by Debian.
The local_handler_callback function in server/responder/pam/pam_LOCAL_domain.c in sssd 0.4.1 does not properly handle blank-password accounts in the SSSD BE database, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain access by sending the account's username, in conjunction with an arbitrary password, over an ssh connection.
