How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 sssd-tools to version 1.16.1-3.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sssd-tools package and not the sssd-tools package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The UNIX pipe which sudo uses to contact SSSD and read the available sudo rules from SSSD has too wide permissions, which means that anyone who can send a message using the same raw protocol that sudo and SSSD use can read the sudo rules available for any user. This affects versions of SSSD before 1.16.3.
