CVE-2026-88252Sssd: sssd: denial of service via responder connection retry loop during file descriptor exhaustion

Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Published: (1 month ago)

Description

A flaw was found in sssd. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting the responder service's available file descriptors (system handles used for open connections). By opening and maintaining many concurrent connections to a responder socket while continuing to queue new connection attempts, an attacker can trigger an unthrottled retry loop. This condition leads to high CPU utilization and stalls the service, preventing legitimate identity and authentication requests from being processed.

Weakness (CWE): CWE-835

Data: CVE.org, NVD, CISA KEV, FIRST EPSS, Ubuntu. Published as the sources state it, in English.

A flaw was found in abrt. abrt-server trusts a client-supplied PID when creating problem dumps over abrt.socket and, running as root, copies that process's /proc data (including environ) into a dump directory owned by the connecting unprivileged user. This al…

A flaw was found in abrt. The completeness check introduced to mitigate CVE-2026-54228 and CVE-2026-54229 only verifies that a dump directory contains a "count" element, which an unprivileged user can create. This allows a local attacker to bypass the guard a…
