NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sssd package and not the sssd package as distributed by Ubuntu.

sssd versions from 1.13.0 to before 2.0.0 did not properly restrict access to the infopipe according to the "allowed_uids" configuration parameter. If sensitive information were stored in the user directory, this could be inadvertently disclosed to local attackers.
