Vendorredhat, fedoraprojectProductenterprise linux, openshift container platform, sssdDiscoveredAug 3, 2026UpdatedAug 31, 2026

A flaw was found in SSSD. The sss_nss_protocol_parse_addr() function in the NSS responder does not validate the addrlen field against the remaining packet body size. A local attacker can exploit this via a crafted GETHOSTBYADDR request to the NSS responder socket, causing an out-of-bounds read and process crash, resulting in a denial of service.
