- CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds Write
Summary
A flaw was found in SSSD's NFS idmap plugin. When retrieving cached user or group names, the plugin detects if an entry exceeds the destination buffer size but fails to abort before copying data. A local attacker can trigger this vulnerability by requesting identity lookups that resolve to oversized cached entries, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. This flaw primarily leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the identity mapping service, and may also corrupt adjacent process memory.

This makes uid/gid name lookups bypass the vulnerable get_user_from_mc() and get_group_from_mc() code paths. Note that with memcache disabled, lookups are served through the SSSD responder instead of the in-memory cache, which may add lookup latency on systems with heavy NFS identity resolution traffic. No released package fix is currently established for this issue, so this configuration change is the recommended interim workaround until a fixed build is available."
