NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sssd-client package and not the sssd-client package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in SSSD. In configurations where the autofs responder service is enabled, memory allocated during successful request processing is not released until the client connection terminates. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by maintaining an open connection and repeatedly submitting valid requests, leading to memory exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS).
