(CVE-2018-10852)
It was discovered that SSSD incorrectly handled Group Policy Objects. When
SSSD is configured with too strict permissions causing the GPO to not be
readable, SSSD will allow all authenticated users to login instead of being
denied, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04
LTS. (CVE-2018-16838)
It was discovered that SSSD incorrectly handled users with no home
directory set. When no home directory was set, SSSD would return the root
directory instead of an empty string, possibly bypassing security measures.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-3811)
Cedric Buissart discovered that SSSD incorrectly handled the sssctl
command. In certain environments, a local user could use this issue to
