It was found that SSSD's Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) responder
plug-in would leak a small amount of memory on each authentication request.
A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to exhaust all available
memory on the system by making repeated requests to a Kerberized daemon
application configured to authenticate using the PAC responder plug-in.
(CVE-2015-5292)

The sssd packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.13.0, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#1205554)

Several enhancements are described in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
Release Notes, linked to in the References section:

  * SSSD smart card support (BZ#854396)

  * Cache authentication in SSSD (BZ#910187)

  * SSSD supports overriding automatically discovered AD site (BZ#1163806)

  * SSSD can now deny SSH access to locked accounts (BZ#1175760)

  * SSSD enables UID and GID mapping on individual clients (BZ#1183747)

  * Background refresh of cached entries (BZ#1199533)

  * Multi-step prompting for one-time and long-term passwords (BZ#1200873)

  * Caching for initgroups operations (BZ#1206575)

Bugs fixed:

  * When the SELinux user content on an IdM server was set to an empty
string, the SSSD SELinux evaluation utility returned an error. (BZ#1192314)

  * If the ldap_child process failed to initialize credentials and exited
with an error multiple times, operations that create files in some cases
started failing due to an insufficient amount of i-nodes. (BZ#1198477)

  * The SRV queries used a hard coded TTL timeout, and environments that
wanted the SRV queries to be valid for a certain time only were blocked.
Now, SSSD parses the TTL value out of the DNS packet. (BZ#1199541)

  * Previously, initgroups operation took an excessive amount of time. Now,
logins and ID processing are faster for setups with AD back end and
disabled ID mapping. (BZ#1201840)

  * When an IdM client with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 or later was
connecting to a server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 or earlier,
authentication with an AD trusted domain caused the sssd_be process to
terminate unexpectedly. (BZ#1202170)

  * If replication conflict entries appeared during HBAC processing, the user
was denied access. Now, the replication conflict entries are skipped and
users are permitted access. (BZ#1202245)

  * The array of SIDs no longer contains an uninitialized value and SSSD no
longer crashes. (BZ#1204203)

  * SSSD supports GPOs from diffe ...
