CVE-2026-68744
lowpriority · track · 0EPSS 0.001 · 3 %ileEUUSEPSS · scored 2026-10-28
A flaw was found in SSSD. The sss_nss_protocol_fill_initgr() function in the NSS responder pre-allocates reply space for all group entries but does not shrink the packet when groups are skipped, causing uninitialized heap bytes to be transmitted to the client. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose cached directory data and heap layout information from the sssd_nss process.
