The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 21.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5067-1 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in sssd Group Policy Objects implementation. When the GPO is not readable by SSSD due to a too strict permission settings on the server side, SSSD will allow all authenticated users to login instead of denying access. (CVE-2018-16838)

  • 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.
    (CVE-2018-10852)

  • A vulnerability was found in sssd. If a user was configured with no home directory set, sssd would return ‘/’ (the root directory) instead of ‘’ (the empty string / no home directory). This could impact services that restrict the user’s filesystem access to within their home directory through chroot() etc. All versions before 2.1 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3811)

  • A flaw was found in SSSD, where the sssctl command was vulnerable to shell command injection via the logs- fetch and cache-expire subcommands. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the root user into running a specially crafted sssctl command, such as via sudo, to gain root access. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3621)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
