Multiple out-of-buffer bounds read flaws were found in the way autofs and ssh service responders of sssd, a System Security Services Daemon, performed parsing of SSSD packet values. An attacker could provide a specially-crafted packet that, when processed by the autofs or ssh service responders of sssd would lead to sssd server crash (temporary denial of service).

A TOCTOU (time-of-check time-of-use) race condition was found in the way SSSD, System Security Services Daemon, performed copying and removal of (user) directory trees.A local attacker, with permissions to write into directory of the victim, being actively / currently copied / removed via the sssd daemon facility, could use this flaw to conduct symbolic link attacks, leading to their ability to alter / remove directories outside of originally intended, to be modified, directory tree.

System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) before 1.0.1, when the krb5 authprovider is configured but the KDC is unreachable, allows physically proximate attackers to authenticate, via an arbitrary password, to the screen-locking program on a workstation that has any user's Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT); and might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving an arbitrary password in conjunction with a valid TGT.
