CVE-2026-127100

Sssd: sssd: local denial of service through unchecked oauth2 json code type in pam responder

  • Medium 5.5

Description

A flaw was found in SSSD's PAM responder on builds with the JSON PAM extension enabled. A local attacker can submit a crafted authentication request containing a non-string OAuth2 code value. Missing JSON type validation leads to a NULL pointer dereference, terminating the PAM responder and disrupting SSSD-backed authentication.

Historical context and remediation

This reference retains the original CVE publication date. A recent record update does not mean a new attack occurred.

No separately sourced impact summary is available on this page yet. Consult the description, version data and dated exploitation evidence.

Version statuses below come from the CNA. An “unaffected” version is not necessarily a currently supported release or proof of a patch date. EPSS is a dated risk estimate, not a count of historical attacks.
