CVE-2026-68743

MEDIUM CVSS: 5.5 Published: 2026-08-04 Modified: 2026-08-17

Description

A flaw was found in SSSD. The extract_authtok_v1() function in the PAM responder does not validate the auth_token_length field against the remaining buffer size before processing. A local attacker can exploit this via a crafted protocol v1 request to the PAM responder socket, causing an out-of-bounds read and process crash, resulting in a denial of service.
