Description Samuele Negrini 2026-07-07 09:09:23 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

The ad_gpo_extract_smb_components() function in SSSD's AD GPO provider converts backslashes to forward slashes in the gPCFileSysPath LDAP attribute but does not sanitize .. path components. A differential between libsmbclient's path clamping (resolves .. at the share root) and the kernel's path resolution (resolves .. fully) allows an attacker with AD GPO management access to write files outside the GPO cache directory as root.

On SELinux-enforcing systems (the default on RHEL), the traversal can target /var/lib/sss/pubconf/krb5.include.d/ (labeled sssd_public_t), enabling Kerberos KDC redirection and authentication bypass. On SELinux-permissive or disabled systems, arbitrary file write as root is possible.
