The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2015-557:03 advisory.

    Provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and     authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward     the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple different     account sources. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy     services for projects like FreeIPA.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2015-5292     Memory leak in the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder     plugin (sssd_pac_plugin.so) in System Security Services Daemon (SSSD)     1.10 before 1.13.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial     of service (memory consumption) via a large number of logins that     trigger parsing of PAC blobs during Kerberos authentication.
    Fixed bugs:
    * Previously, SSSD did not correctly handle sudo rules that applied to groups with names containing     special characters, such as the ( opening parenthesis sign. Consequently, SSSD skipped such sudo rules.
    The internal sysdb search has been modified to escape special characters when searching for objects to     which sudo rules apply. As a result, SSSD applies the described sudo rules as expected.
    * Prior to this update, SSSD did not correctly handle group names containing special Lightweight Directory     Access Protocol (LDAP) characters, such as the ( or ) parenthesis signs. When a group name contained     one or more such characters, the internal cache cleanup operation failed with an I/O error. With this     update, LDAP special characters in the Distinguished Name (DN) of a cache entry are escaped before the     cleanup operation starts. As a result, the cleanup operation completes successfully in the described     situation.
    * Applications performing Kerberos authentication previously increased the memory footprint of the     Kerberos plug-in that parses the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) information. The plug-in has been     updated to free the memory it allocates, thus fixing this bug.
    * Previously, when malformed POSIX attributes were defined in an Active Directory (AD) LDAP server, SSSD     unexpectedly switched to offline mode. This update relaxes certain checks for AD POSIX attribute validity.
    As a result, SSSD now works as expected even when malformed POSIX attributes are present in AD and no     longer enters offline mode in the described situation.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2015:2355 advisory.

    The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) service provides a set of     daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication     mechanisms.

    It was found that SSSD's Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder     plug-in would leak a small amount of memory on each authentication request.
    A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to exhaust all available     memory on the system by making repeated requests to a Kerberized daemon     application configured to authenticate using the PAC responder plug-in.
    (CVE-2015-5292)

    The sssd packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.13.0, which     provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
    (BZ#1205554)

    Several enhancements are described in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2     Release Notes, linked to in the References section:

    * SSSD smart card support (BZ#854396)
    * Cache authentication in SSSD (BZ#910187)
    * SSSD supports overriding automatically discovered AD site (BZ#1163806)
    * SSSD can now deny SSH access to locked accounts (BZ#1175760)
    * SSSD enables UID and GID mapping on individual clients (BZ#1183747)
    * Background refresh of cached entries (BZ#1199533)
    * Multi-step prompting for one-time and long-term passwords (BZ#1200873)
    * Caching for initgroups operations (BZ#1206575)

    Bugs fixed:

    * When the SELinux user content on an IdM server was set to an empty     string, the SSSD SELinux evaluation utility returned an error. (BZ#1192314)

    * If the ldap_child process failed to initialize credentials and exited     with an error multiple times, operations that create files in some cases     started failing due to an insufficient amount of i-nodes. (BZ#1198477)

    * The SRV queries used a hard coded TTL timeout, and environments that     wanted the SRV queries to be valid for a certain time only were blocked.
    Now, SSSD parses the TTL value out of the DNS packet. (BZ#1199541)

    * Previously, initgroups operation took an excessive amount of time. Now,     logins and ID processing are faster for setups with AD back end and     disabled ID mapping. (BZ#1201840)

    * When an IdM client with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 or later was     connecting to a server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 or earlier,     authentication with an AD trusted domain caused the sssd_be process to     terminate unexpectedly. (BZ#1202170)

    * If replication conflict entries appeared during HBAC processing, the user     was denied access. Now, the replication conflict entries are skipped and     users are permitted access. (BZ#1202245)

    * The array of SIDs no longer contains an uninitialized value and SSSD no     longer crashes. (BZ#1204203)

    * SSSD supports GPOs from different domain controllers and no longer     crashes when processing GPOs from different domain controllers.
    (BZ#1205852)

    * SSSD could not refresh sudo rules that contained groups with special     characters, such as parentheses, in their name. (BZ#1208507)

    * The IPA names are not qualified on the client side if the server already     qualified them, and IdM group members resolve even if default_domain_suffix     is used on the server side. (BZ#1211830)

    * The internal cache cleanup task has been disabled by default to improve     performance of the sssd_be process. (BZ#1212489)

    * Now, default_domain_suffix is not considered anymore for autofs maps.
    (BZ#1216285)

    * The user can set subdomain_inherit=ignore_group-members to disable     fetching group members for trusted domains. (BZ#1217350)

    * The group resolution failed with an error message: Error: 14 (Bad     address). The binary GUID handling has been fixed. (BZ#1226119)

    Enhancements added:

    * The description of default_domain_suffix has been improved in the manual     pages. (BZ#1185536)

    * With the new %0 template option, users on SSSD IdM clients can now use     home directories set on AD. (BZ#1187103)

    All sssd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which     correct these issues and add these enhancements.

Security fix for CVE-2015-5292

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2015-829:03 advisory.

    Provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and     authentication mechanisms. It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward     the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple different     account sources. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy     services for projects like FreeIPA.
    The sssd subpackage is a meta-package that contains the deamon as well as all     the existing back ends.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2015-5292     Memory leak in the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder     plugin (sssd_pac_plugin.so) in System Security Services Daemon (SSSD)     1.10 before 1.13.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial     of service (memory consumption) via a large number of logins that     trigger parsing of PAC blobs during Kerberos authentication.
    Enhancements:
    * SSSD smart card support     Fixed bugs:
    * When the SELinux user content on an IdM server was set to an empty string, the SSSD SELinux evaluation     utility returned an error.
    * If the ldap_child process failed to initialize credentials and exited with an error multiple times,     operations that create files in some cases started failing due to an insufficient amount of i-nodes.
    * The SRV queries used a hard coded TTL timeout, and environments that wanted the SRV queries to be valid     for a certain time only were blocked. Now, SSSD parses the TTL value out of the DNS packet.
    * Previously, initgroups operation took an excessive amount of time. Now, logins and ID processing are     faster for setups with AD back end and disabled ID mapping.
    * When an IdM client with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 or later was connecting to a server with Red Hat     Enterprise Linux 7.0 or earlier, authentication with an AD trusted domain caused the sssd_be process to     terminate unexpectedly.
    * If replication conflict entries appeared during HBAC processing, the user was denied access. Now, the     replication conflict entries are skipped and users are permitted access.
    * The array of SIDs no longer contains an uninitialized value and SSSD no longer crashes.
    * SSSD supports GPOs from different domain controllers and no longer crashes when processing GPOs from     different domain controllers.
    * SSSD could not refresh sudo rules that contained groups with special characters, such as parentheses, in     their name.
    * The IPA names are not qualified on the client side if the server already qualified them, and IdM group     members resolve even if default_domain_suffix is used on the server side.
    * The internal cache cleanup task has been disabled by default to improve performance of the sssd_be     process.
    * Now, default_domain_suffix is not considered anymore for autofs maps.
    * The user can set subdomain_inherit=ignore_group-members to disable fetching group members for trusted     domains.
    * The group resolution failed with an error message: Error: 14 (Bad address). The binary GUID handling     has been fixed.
    Enhancements:
    * The description of default_domain_suffix has been improved in the manual pages.
    * With the new %0 template option, users on SSSD IdM clients can now use home directories set on AD.

Updated sssd packages that fix one security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) service provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It also provides the Name Service Switch (NSS) and the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) interfaces toward the system, and a pluggable back-end system to connect to multiple different account sources.

It was found that SSSD's Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder plug-in would leak a small amount of memory on each authentication request. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on the system by making repeated requests to a Kerberized daemon application configured to authenticate using the PAC responder plug-in. (CVE-2015-5292)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously, SSSD did not correctly handle sudo rules that applied to groups with names containing special characters, such as the '(' opening parenthesis sign. Consequently, SSSD skipped such sudo rules.
The internal sysdb search has been modified to escape special characters when searching for objects to which sudo rules apply. As a result, SSSD applies the described sudo rules as expected.
(BZ#1258398)

* Prior to this update, SSSD did not correctly handle group names containing special Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) characters, such as the '(' or ')' parenthesis signs. When a group name contained one or more such characters, the internal cache cleanup operation failed with an I/O error. With this update, LDAP special characters in the Distinguished Name (DN) of a cache entry are escaped before the cleanup operation starts. As a result, the cleanup operation completes successfully in the described situation.
(BZ#1264098)

* Applications performing Kerberos authentication previously increased the memory footprint of the Kerberos plug-in that parses the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) information. The plug-in has been updated to free the memory it allocates, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#1268783)

* Previously, when malformed POSIX attributes were defined in an Active Directory (AD) LDAP server, SSSD unexpectedly switched to offline mode. This update relaxes certain checks for AD POSIX attribute validity. As a result, SSSD now works as expected even when malformed POSIX attributes are present in AD and no longer enters offline mode in the described situation. (BZ#1268784)

All sssd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the update, the sssd service will be restarted automatically.
Additionally, all running applications using the PAC responder plug-in must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
