The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:7.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rhcos package and not the rhcos package as distributed by RHEL.
A flaw was found in SSSD. The sss_nss_protocol_fill_initgr() function in the NSS responder pre-allocates reply space for all group entries but does not shrink the packet when groups are skipped, causing uninitialized heap bytes to be transmitted to the client. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose cached directory data and heap layout information from the sssd_nss process.
