CVE-2026-104036: Sssd: sssd: denial of service via out-of-bounds write in nfs idmap plugin

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 23/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.08% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: sssd (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6-LTSS) 2.10.2-150600.3.58.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to sssd (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6-LTSS) 2.10.2-150600.3.58.1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A flaw was found in SSSD's NFS idmap plugin. When retrieving cached user or group names, the plugin detects if an entry exceeds the destination buffer size but fails to abort before copying data. A local attacker can trigger this vulnerability by requesting identity lookups that resolve to oversized cached entries, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. This flaw primarily leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the identity mapping service, and may also corrupt adjacent process memory.
