If a user was configured with no home directory set, sssd would return '/' (the root directory) instead of '' (the empty string / no home directory). This could impact services that restrict the user's filesystem access to within their home directory through chroot() etc. All versions before 2.1 are vulnerable.","published":"2019-01-15T15:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:35:38.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.2,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-200","CWE-552"],"affected":["fedoraproject/sssd","debian/debian linux","fedoraproject/fedora","opensuse/leap","redhat/enterprise linux"],"epss":{"score":0.00696,"percentile":0.52761,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.70%).
