"An update for authconfig is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The authconfig packages contain a command-line utility and a GUI
application that can configure a workstation to be a client for
certain network user information, authentication schemes, and other
user information and authentication-related options.

Security Fix(es) :

* A flaw was found where authconfig could configure sssd in a way that
treats existing and non-existing logins differently, leaking
information on existence of a user. An attacker with physical or
network access to the machine could enumerate users via a timing
attack. (CVE-2017-7488)

This issue was discovered by Tomas Mraz (Red Hat) and Thorsten Scherf
(Red Hat).

Additional Changes :

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.4 Release Notes linked from the References section."
